CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
Editor's Note: This is the fifth of the articles explaining the one over one system for contract bridge. If you are already a contract player you will And the series an invaluable aid to your game; if you do not play con tract, but want to learn, the "korios will be the best possible approach to¦ the game.
The majority of original bids atį contract bridge are suit bids of [ano. At auction bridge we, In |reality, bid against our opponents endeavouring to buy the contract as cheaply as possible, while at con- tract bridge we must bid for our partner, so that partisanship bid- Iding may progress on a contructive basin and thereby safely reach the correct final contract.
There was o old catablished principle at auction bridge that dealer and second hand could open with less strength than that "re- fquired for a third or fourth hand opening bid, and this principle was. carried over into contract for a short time.
To-day, however, after we have: had an opportunity to study con- tract bridge thoroughly, this bid- ding principle is completely chang- fed in the one over one system of
bidding.
To open with a first or second hand bid is laying the founda- ition for a game or slam contract.
