CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney Naturally any foreing bid is constructive. 'However, in the constructive one over one system of contract bidding it often be- | comes necessary to insert a forcing bid, as a simple constructive bid. might not convey the full informa. tion regarding the hand or get the proper response from partner.

Let us take up some of the fore- ing responses. Original bidder |

"A bid of two hearts would be a sign-off bid. Therefore, the bid of three hearts is a constructive bid, and as it is a jump bid it is in addition forcing, Any jump bid In this system of bidding is a fore- ing bid, if

Now supposing the original bid- der opens with one heart and the partner jumps to four hearts. Let us take the natural meaning from this responsé.

He has not bid two hearts. which would be a sign-off bid. He has not bid three, which is a fore- lug bid, has jumped to four: Therefore, this jump to four can be nothing other than an assurance that it is perfectly safe to play the hand at four hearts, and the bid

In other words, in this system- of bidding when we find two hands that fit, especially when they fit with a major suit, we do not be- lieve that it pays to show a second sult, as it may give away some strength.

to

Let an say that you hold five clubs

the ace, king, queen. Partner

opens with one heart. You held four hearts to the queen, jack, and in addition let us say a side

in все. This

indeed tremendous hand and many players would force over one heart by bidding three clubs,

However, this bid of three clubs might be just what your opponents are looking for. It might tell them how properly to attack the hand.

You are not going to play the" hand in clubs, since both you and your partner have hearts. Why not jump the contract directly to |four hearts, stating to partner that there is no question but that you can make four. hearts, and in addi- Lion if he has more than he orig- inally advertised, you think there is a possibility of making a slam? Now 1 will take another example. The original bidder opens with one heart; partner re- sponds with two no trump. The response of one no trump would be a sign-off bid. Partner has not elected to make.a sign-off bid, but has jumped to two no trump.

Therefore, this is constructive, and as it is a jump bid, it is fore- ing. This bid should not be made, however, unless you hold a high honour in partner's suit-that is the ace, king or queen-or unless you have a great deal of side reserve strength and only wish to partner's heart suit or heart bid as a stopper in that suit, winning the majority of tricks in your own side suita.

use

Now supposing that you were to jump to three no trump over a bid of one heart. Here again we find the slam try. In other words, you state: "I am not seeking addition- al information regarding your hand but I am endeavouring to convey to you at once that I have an exceptionally powerful hand and am willing to try for a slam.

+ * •

And here is one more example. Supposing the original bidder opens with one heart. Partner re sponds with one spade the fore- ing one over one.

If the original bidder were now to respond wih two spades, he would be stating that he held four spades and also that he had no re- serve strength over that adver- tised by his original bid. If he were to jump to three spades this would be a constructive forcing bid. However, supposing he wore to jump to four spades, here again we find the slam try.

"In this scries of articles on con- | structive hidding I hope I have im- pressed upon my readers the fact that to jump to game is in no way considered a sign-off bid in the constructive one over one system of bidding. On the contrary, fres quently it is a alam invitation.

LEADING AGAIN

GREAT BRITAIN'S SOLID POSITION

7. London, Mar. 25. An optimistic view of the out- look was taken by the Chancellor of the Exchequer Mr.. Neville Chamberlain last night, when he appealed for confidence in the National Government to enable it to complete its task.

"Our credit system has been so fully restored" he said, "that to- day we are almost embarrassed by the amount of money that is com ing into London from other coun tries, brought here by people who feel that this is a safer place than that from which it came. From having slipped back to the position of third exporting coun- try of the world, we have once again regained our position first exporting country."

43

Over 200 new factories had been established with foreign capital, he said. The Government had had invitations from something like 20 foreign countries to begin negotiations with them for new commercial treaties. Agriculture. was being re-organised from top to bottom. Farmers at present. had great hopes and greater con- fidence in the future than they bad bad for many years.

The Indian Problem. Referring to the difficult and delicate problem of instituting a new system of Government in India, he said the Government did not underrate the risks, but with patience, good-will, prudence and courage, they might be encourageded on or before the 10th April, 1933,

to believe that they would present ly see the end of that momentous problem.

A great and beneficent change had in the past week come aver. the situation in Europe, as a re- sult of British initiative and the visit to Geneva and Rome of the Prime Minister.

"The interest of this country is now, as it always has been, in the preservation of peace" he said "but it is not enough for us to say that we ourselves do not intend to go to war. Our interests to deeper than that. It is our duty, by every effort we can make, by every influence we can exert, to compose. the differences and act as media- tors to try to devise methods by which other countries may be de livered from this great menace."
