CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney What should govern an original no-trump bld-high card tricks, distribution.or count?

Many players add thoir hand up mechanically, counting so much for an ace and so much for a king. While I have no serious objection to that method I don't believe that. bridge a mechanical game,

I believe that every bridge hand presents a new problem and you must analyze it from many differ- ent angles-not from just ono.

If you base. your bids entirely on high card tricks, then you are not getting the greatest thrill out of every contract hand.

Contract's great popularity is due to the fact that it сап utterly absorb one within its Interests. The more you try to get out of the game the more you will enjoy it.

Spades A-K-Q-4-3 Hearts-A-K-J Diamonds A-Q-2 Clubs-K-0

Let us take the above hand. It has a lot of high card tricks. If we gave each card in the hand a count it would add up into tele- phone numbers.

Not only does the hand contain a biddable suit, hut that suit is five cards in length-it has top cards- and in a major.

you

I presume that if a school teacher were now to ask you what would bid on the hand, a large ma- jority would answer "Spades." However, I would differ with you.

Let us add the hand up from on- other angle. If the spadea break, we can make five spade tricks, and we are sure of two heart tricks and the ace of diamonds, which is eight. If we can get another trick out of the hand, we know that there is game in no trump.

What is the bly advantage to this hand? Ita tenace positions-the fact that you can force your left hand opponent to lead up to your strength rather than through it.

The danger of the hand lies in the king of clubs. If the left-hand opponent opens a club, you are bound to make your king of clubs and in the majority of cases you will now be able to run off five spades, two hearts and ane mond for nine cold game, in no trump,

tricks,

día- and

This bid of two no trump gives your partner a good picture of your hand. He knows that you have n five-card suit and plenty of high card tricks..

It does not discourage a try for alam-it shows a hand so powerful that you are afraid to bid one no trump as he might pass, though a one no trump bld shows a good hand.

cven

по

Therefore, you will appreciate that an original bid of two trump is a forcing bid and demands that partner make at least one bid. Don't make your bids in a more- ly mechanical manner-figure them out from all angles and I assure you that you will get a lot more enjoyment out of the game of con- tract bridge and will find it very thrilling.
