PUTTING ON THE

BRAKES

By The Four Aces North found himself in a bid- ding predicament which occura pretty often, and his way of put- ting on the brakes is quite instruc- tive:

North's hand, while no rock- crusher, was worth an opening bid He expected to show his minimum strength by a rebid of one no-trump or two clubs — if South responded with one of a suit. But, as it happened, East made an overcall and South had to bid two of his best suits. And then.

North was in trouble.

He couldn't pass, since South's free bid was forcing. He couldn't bid two

besides no-trump; for having no spade stopper, his hand was not nearly good enough for that strong rebid. He could, it's. true, bid three clubs -the least but encouraging bid available

that would suppress the good fit in diamonds and risk a bad fit in clubs. So North was compelled to bid three diamonds a rather strong-sounding bid, inviting three no-trump.

It was at his next turn that North found a chance to slow down. Instead of going to four dia- monds, North bid jour clubs. That permitted South to bid four diamonds; and at last North had a chance to pass. At many tables, with identical bidding up to that point, North bid four diamonds and South then went to five, hop- ing to find a doubleton spade in the North hand. Those players got a bad score, of course, since they lost three spade tricks before they could even get started.
