CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

There are four situations to be considered in rebidding to close the contract after an opening bid

of one:

bid.

1. Where partner has assisted (short of game) an opening suit 2. Where partner has assisted (short of game) an opening No Trump bid.

3. Where partner has made a Minimum Take-Out.

4. Where partner has made a Game-Demand Take-Out.

There is nothing left for the to do partner (opening bidder) but pass in the above situation except in No. 4 Situation which

is a Game-Demand Take-Out, or if the opening bid contained more strength than required and then the hand should be re-bid.

an

When a player has made opening suit bid of que and his with or partner has assisted, without an intervening bid by an adversary, he has a rehid for each Probable Trick he holds in excess of the number indicated by his opening bid. If he is the Dealer or second hand, his opening bid

Probable indicates funr

Tricks and each Probabic Trick in excess of four justifies a rebid. If his opening bid is made as third or fourth hand, each probable trick in excess of five justifies a rebid, Additional High-Card Tricks are not necessary for rebids.

Should Dealer's hand, South, contain only 5 probable tricks and North raises from one Spade to twa Spaules, South should bid Tour Spades.

Should Dealer's hand, South, conians one, By: Probable Tricks, and North raises from one Spade to two Spadea, South should d three Spades.
