Therefore, the questions fre- quently asked by players who have just taken up the one-over- one are; how do you bid for game? When do you know that your partner will not pass your res- ponse? How do you stop before arriving at game if there is no game in the hand?

This simply states to partner: "I have four of your trump. However, I cannot see any way of hold making game, unless you quite a little additional reserve strength. As a matter of fact, it

might be somewhat doubtful if you can even make the contract at two."

After a sign-off bid, partner proceeds at his own peril and even though he makes another con strictive bid, you are not forced to respond unless he gives you a jump shift forcing hid.

For example: if partner bids one heart and you reply with one no trump, signing the hand off, the partner now hids three dia- monds-you would be forced to respond. To bid either one of these suits now would not be showing additional strength but would be simply showing a pref-

erence.

Summing up to-day's artlele, we find that all original bids are constructive. That the three sig off bids are, first, a pass; second. the responding to partner's bid with one no trump at the first op- portunity, and third, the simple support of partner's suit, för ex- ample, one heart, two hearts.
