A player's skill at contract bid- BANGKOK ding depends largely upon his BATAVIA ability to classify these bids BOMBAY correctly.

Constructive bids show' addl tional strength and always invite partner to continue. As there are so many low forcing bids and consructive bids in the one over one system, the average beginner may find it difficult at first pro- perly to algn-off his partnar, and prevent the bidding from tinuing when it looks as though Foreign Exchange and Geborsi and Jank- CANTON, the combined hande will not proing business transacted.

If the original bidder were now to bid two hearts, showing a second auit, partner would have a right to pass. If partner, however, ponded with two spades, he would be simply showing a preference of the original bidder's two aults and commanding partner to sign off as he had now given a double sign- off.

With strength and a preferenço for spades, partner's constructivej response would have been three spades.

Another example: bidder opens with one spade, part- ner bids two clubs-a constructive bid but not forcing. Original bid- der now bids two no trump-this is also a constructive bid,

If partner now bids three clubs, this is a definite sign-off-it shows the original bidder that the club sult cannot be established for no trump play and that the hand can play nothing but clubs.

Here is an example of a sign-off bid at the higher stages when an attempt is being made to reach a glam. Original bidder opens with one heart, partner jumps to four hearts--this is a mild alam; try.

Let us say that the original bid- der's hand does not have quite enough strength to go to six hearts, but does have some re-bid strength, and he now bids. fvo diamonds.

If partner responds with five hearts, this would be a definite sign-off bid, advising against the alam, and the original bidder should not go to six hearts because in making his bid of five diamonds he has asked partner if he held additional strength, clearly stating that his own hand is not strong enough to jump to six hearts im mediately. When partner gives the sign-off response of five hearts. he makes the decision against the alam.

There are many different types of sign-off blds that come up dur- ing a game, and a little playing experience will soon make you thoroughly familiar with all of them.

This is the final article on the oo over ona system of contract bidding. In my following articles I will again give you some of the hands from the most important tournaments throughout the coun-i try and examples of the one over one bidding system will be given in these hands.
