THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH.

CONTRACT

BRIDGE.

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 suita- a natural force. For example; the original bidder opens with one heart, partner responds with one spede. This is a one over force. If the original bidder now bide two clubs, this is the showing of a second auit and is treated as a natural force.

опо

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 bidder bids one heart, part- ner bids one spade-now the origi nul bidder, even though he has spado support, has a second' suit and it is most important that this suit be shown.

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

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

(a) 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 suit.

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 cue bid..

If the original bidder opens the bidding, your partner has not made abid, and you, not having pre- vlousty bid or passed, now over- call the original bidder's suit with the same sult, this bid Is made to protect against paychic bide especially third hand psychics and is not a cue bid.

For example; the dealer passes, your partner in second hand passes, 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 showa a hand about equal to an original bld with a good spade suit. If you wished to force, you would double the bid of one spade and then, on the second round of bidding, would show your apade suit.

•

It is not generally advisable to invite a alam in the responding hand without absolute command of two suits; . o., you must bid in a position to win the first trick of two suits.

The original blider should not invito a slem without command of three suits 'unica he receives strong constructive bidding from partner. After a major auit has been set by two parinors, and a alam invited, the showing of other suits should then be construed to be the showing of aces or void sulta; c. g., one heart, four hearts - slam invitation. A bid of five clubs by partnar now accepts the slam Invitation and shows control

As I had to reduce some seven ar eight pounds off my normal bodyweight in order to enable me to compote in the 9-stone class, I had to go into very strenuous training, and with the help af Phosferire, I not only won the cham- plonship of that class, but also the In dividual Championship, and, in additiha I broke a British Record,
