CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem

I always have liked P, H. Sims' remark about any original no trump bid in the Sims system. Ho says, "An opening bid of one no trump is the gold standard of the system."

I don't care if my partyer wishes to use a psychic in any position on an original bid, so long as he doog it with a suit bid but the better players to-day insist that when you opon with an original bid of one no trump you must have the hand to back it up.

Due to the fact that an original no trump hid is made only with an especially fine hand, any re- sponse by partner is considered forcing for one round. Even if North had responded with two no trump. South would be forced to bid again. Therefore, when North went to three no trump, his bid became a mild slam try.

South then showed the heart suit and with that information North could go anfely to a slam, na ho had all the fillers in the other suits.

The Play

The opening lead by West was the five of spades. South, the de- clarer, won in dummy with the king, dropping the queen from his own hand. He then played the nine of hearts and East refused to win, declarer putting up the queen, He led the nine of diamonds and LONDON (via Australia) from £128.15.0 won in dummy with the jack.
