all possible inferences from their partner's bidding, each one of them should be able to make an accurate diagram of his partner's hand without ever seeing the cards,

To-day's hand is a good example of the thoroughness with which one over one bidding reveals, the distribution.

The Bidding

South bid one diamond and North one heart, a one over one force. South replied with one spade-another one over one for- twa ce. North's next hid Was clubs.

To the uninitiated these might sound like denials, but the one over one system does not use weak takeouts and each of the above bids shows new high card. distributional, values,

OF

At this point four constructive bids have been made and both partners know that the bidding will not stop short of game.

South now bid two diamonds and North two hearts-each one there by guaranteeing a five-card suit.

South's next bid of two spades was most illuminating for it gave an accurate count of his distribu- tion.

South now knew that North can count him void of hearts, so Nor- th's third rebid of that suit must Indicate a holding as good as six to the ace king; therefore South enuld-positively count in the North hand six hearts headed by the ace king, four clubs headed by the ace queen or see jack, and three diamonds, and the hand obviously |could contain no spades at all.

North could read his partner for six diamonds, five spades, the king and one clab and no hearts. With every significant card thus located, and the distribution counted perfectly, the bidding in- evitably proceeded to seven dia- monds.

The Play

Against any lead but a trump, South could take two hearts, two clubs and nine diamonds, making each one separately by means of a cross-ruff. However, West wisely opened a trump and the declarer was obliged to plan his play differ-

ently.

He allowed dummy's seven to hold the first trick and led the ace and king of hearts, discarding two small spades. He next ruffed a heart with the eight of trump and entered dummy again by ruffing a spade.
