CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

Take-outs consist of minimum, strength-showing and game de- mand Take-outs. They are made elther in an unbid suit or in no trump for two purposes:

(a) To deny support for the bid mult.

(b) To keep the bidding open and try to get into a doclaration that will fit the 26 cards for part score, game or slam.

All Take-outs are constructive.

Minimum Take-Outs: With no intervening bid and lacking nou- tra tramp support it is permis. sible to:

(1) Take-out with a four-card biddable sult, if the hand contains at least two high card tricks.

(2) Take-out with a fivo-card biddable suit, if the hand contains at least one and one-half high card tricks.

(3) Take-out with any suit of aix or more curds, if the hand con- tains one high card trick.

Take-out un original bid of one no trump by bidding two of a suit with:

(a) A five-card major, if the hand contains one and one-half high card tricks or a combined count in the two hands of 22.

(b) Any six-card major suit. (c) A five-card minor when the strength is wholly in the suit, the hand containing one and one-half high card tricks, or if the com- bined count of the two hands is 22 or 23.

(d) Take-out eard minor suit.

with any seven

A Strength-Showing Take-Out (non-furcing): is made by a Jump Take-out in no trump, this being purely strength-showing, as no trump is ever used as a Game- Demand Bid.

If there has been an intervening Take-Out - (with or without an in- tervening bid);

(1) There must be a biddable

suit.

(2) The hand must contain a minimum of three and one-half high card tricks. This Take-out is of such importance that it will be explained in a separate article devoted entirely to this bid and the subsequent responses.

Assuming No intervening bid and lacking adequate (or neutral) support for a'major suit bid and no suit to show, Take-out in no trump-with good no trump dis- tribution as follows:

(1) With two unbid suits stop- ped and a count of 7, bid one no trump.

►

(2) With two unbid suits alop- ped and a count of 13, or with three stopped and a count of 11, bid two no trump.

(3) With two suits stopped and a count of 17, or with three stop- ped and a count of 15, bid three no trump.

If there has been an intervening adverse bid, the no trump Take- out should show at least two stop- pers in the adverse suit. If there is only one stopper in the adverse suit there should be either

(a) Additional strength in two or more suits, or

(b) There 'should be a solid minor suit of at least five cards. and under these provisions, the Take-out may be either two or three no trump, depending on the count in the hand.

To assist an original bid of two, the same length or strength in the suit is needed us when assist- ing a suit bid of one, but the total probable tricks required are less because the opening bid of two an- nounces the declarer with more probable tricks than an opening bid of one, henca: Give one raise with two (2) probable tricks or one and one-half (1%) high card tricks. One additional probable trick beyond two is required for ench raise in the sult finally agreed on.
