familiar with the point- count, here it is: count 4 poluta for ach ace in your hand; 3 for cach-king; 2 for each queen; i for each fuck.

There are 10 points in coch sall, and 40 points in the entire

your partner deck. You and

surdly need 20 points to make a game; 33 points for a small slum; 37 for a grand slam,

In today's lund South must open the bidding since he has t count of 14 points. Some ex- perts would open the bidding with one club even though this is a three-card sult, Other, ex- perts would perfer the more natural opening bid of one heart.

In either case, North responds with one spade, and South must mako the rebid of one no- trump. This rebla shows

balanced distribution and no more than 10 points. (If South had more than 10 polats, he would find some other rebid even if he had to "invent" one.)

North has a count of 12 points and therelore knows that there

should be a reasonable play for gume if South has boui 14 is points. His jump to game mildly optimistic, but not un-
