CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney.

Secretary, American Bridge League.

When using the MeKenney sys. tem of contract bidding, the great majority of all original bids are one of a suit. As explained in our previous articles, original no trump bids are only made when the hand does not contain a good biddable four-card suit..

To make an original auit bid of one, not only must you have at least a good biddable four-card suit, but your hand must contain two and one-half defensive tricks, The quick trick table as advocated by the writer is listed below:

Quick tricks are defensive tricks. Your first bid should not only-in- diente to partner that you have a playable suit, but should also show him that if opponents bid he ean depend upon you to take two to three tricks against any bid they may make.

Quick tricks are the real basis for valuing bands at contract bridge. Your hand may contain six to seven probable tricks, but if you have unprotected suits and missing. quick tricks, until partner shows up with those quick tricks, it is Pasy to understand that the op- ponents will run these off before you can get started with probable tricks.
