Prince's Bullding,

Ice House Street,

By W. E. McKenney

I want to call your attention to two, forcing bids not previously mentioned in this series,

1st. The showing of two sults. - a natural force. For example; the original bidder opens with one. heart, partner responds with one spede. This in'n one over one force. If the original bidder now bids two clubs, this is the showing of a second ault and is treated as a natural force.

You can appreciate that partners, whose hands can show three suits, are in no danger in'now endeavour- ing to select the correct sult at which to play the hand while, hid- ding is still low. It is also easy to understand that the original · bid- der, as yet, has not had an oppor. tunity to support his partner's euit.

Taking the same example, the original biddor bids one heart, part- ner bids one spade-now the origi nal bidder, oven though he has apade support, has a second suit and it is most Important that this suit be shown,

•

B

A

Therefore this showing of second suit must be treated na force go that the original bidder may be given an opportunity to support the spade suit on the next round if he so desires.

2d.. Another forcing bld is the bidding of an opponent's suit. For example, the original bidder opens with one heart, accond hand bids two clubs and the partner of the original bidder now bida three clubs. This bid of three clubs in known as a cue bid and

(e) Advises the original bidder that partner's hand contains no losing clubs.

(b) Showa normal support for the original bidder's suit.

(c) Is a slam invitation.

Therefore, it should not be made with anything, but an especally strong hand. It must have either great high card strength or a strong side sult.

However, there is one time when the bidding of an opponent's suit is not treated as a force, and this should not be confused with the above described cuo bid.

If the original bidder opens the bidding, your partner has not made a bid, and you, not having pre- viously bid or passed. now over- call the original bidder's suit with the same sult, this bid is made to protect against psychic bids- especially third hand paychics- |· -and-is-not a-cue-bid.-

For example; the dealer passes, your partner in second hand passco, third hand now opens with one spade. You have not previously bid or passed and you now overcall this opponent's suit with a bid of, two spades..

This is not a forcing bid-It simply shows a hand about equal to an original bid with a good spado suit. If you wished to force, you would double the bid of one apade and then, on the second round of bidding, would show your spade Buít,

·

It is not generally advisable to Invite a slam in the responding hand without absolute command of two suits; i. e., you must bid in a position to win the first trick of two suits.

I

The original bidder should not Invite, a alem without command of three suits unless he receives strong constructive blading from partner. After a major suit hns been net by two partners, and a slam Invited, the showing of other suits should then be construed to be the showing of aces or void Bulle; o. g., one heart, four hearts --n slam invitation. A bld of five clubs by partner now accepta the slam invliation and shows control

There are a few hands in con- tract whore ace showing la neces- sary for slam bidding. However, they are in the minority, and it is better to arrive at your slam from

natural inferences of high card tricks rather than by the showing of aces and vold suits.

Remember that it never pays to sacrifice a sure game for a doubt- ful slam.

CT is with the greatest pleasure that "I write to testify to the benefits I

As I had to reduce some soven or night pounds off my normal bodyweight In order to enable me to compel in the 9-stone class, I had to go into very -strenuous training, and with the help of Phosferind I not only won the cham- plonship of that class, but also the la=" dividual Championship, and, in addition I broke a British Record.

I therefore have no hesitation in re- commanding Phosfering to any physical culturist or athlete, whether he be in ordinary training or preparing far a competition, as it
