ANSWER: Your correct bid is four spades. This bid clearly con- veys the picture that while your hand is minimum in high cards, you have excèss values represented by a very strong spade suit.

West's opening bid of one spade Score 100% for four spades, was bad, since his hand lacked the 80% for three spades (if you make proper high card strength. A three-this bid, you may be embarrassed spáde opening would have been for the correct bid later on), 40%

took charge of the hand in very clever fashion. He was cer- tain that he could make a Slam, but realized that if he bid in any man- ner except that of a person desper- ately defending, his opponents would probably go on to six spades. - Incidentally, six spades would have been down only two tricks. How- ever, when South finally allowed himself to be "pushed" into six-

rearts, we really cannot blame East Aces)
