South's opening bid, which I consider unsound. I would like your opinion.'

South's opening bid was very weak, but in our opinion three Kings and an Acé

constitute enough high card strength to warrant an opening bid. Actually South's opening bid was in- nocuous enough. Where he made his fatal mistake was in his bold rebid of two notrump, which gave his part- ner the erroneous Impression that South held a very powerful hand. In view of this strong rebid by South, North was certainly justified in his five-diamond bid, although we must admit the result was pretty sad.
