CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

A question frequently asked in regard to the constructive one over one system is, "What is the rule and guide for a third hand open- Ing 'bid?".

As you know, in the one over one system, when you make an original bid in first or second po- aftlon, you are telling your part ner that you have the foundation upon which to build for a game or a slam.

You have definito rebid values

in your hand. In other words,

you are bidding for your partner,

When both first and second hands pass, and it comes to you third hand, your partner has told you that while his hand may con- tain as high as three quick tricks (and I have passed originally with a hand containing As many as four quick tricks) he doesn't have the type of a hand on which he wishes to start the bidding.

You are now in a peculiar posi- tion. If your hand contains little or no strength, then undoubtedly fourth hand has quite a few tick- ets and will open the bidding. If you can, get in a lead director, or any kind of a bid that may upset your opponents--even a psyèlle.

You know third hand is the

| best place in which to employ a

paychle. However,

should be made unless you have a perfect "out.”

In other words, in bidding third hand you bid against your oppo. ments therefore if you think that you have a hand that will upset the opponents, or have a good lead director, open the bidding third hand and you will not get into a great deal of trouble.

In the following hand, North's soundest opening is one diamond. What should East do? Overcall

with two hearts?

I don't believe so. I prefer to make the Informatory double, which is going to tell my partner that my hand contains either hearts or spades-possibly both- and it quickly tells partner that the hand has some possibilities.

South will pass the informatory double. West will respond with one spade. East will then bid two hearts, showing his partner that he has no spade support, but that his double was based entirely on hearts and side strength.

"TAKE YOUR CAMERA WITH YOU ?""

West is justified in supporting the heart bid to three. East can reason that his partner would not carry him to three hearts with only spade strength, therefore he either has strength in clubs diamonds or is short in one of those suits. East has a good bid ning the second lend with uf four hearts.
