CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

Solution to Previous Contract Problem

I always have liked P. H. Sime' remark about any original no trump bid in the Sims system. He saya, "An opening bid of onɑ no trump is the gold standard of the system.”

!

I don't care if my partnor wishes to use a paychic in any position on an original bid, so long as ho does it with a suit bid but the bettor players to-day insist that when you open 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 bid is made only with an especially fine hand, any re- sponse by partner is considered forcing for. one round. Even if North and 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 sult and with that information North could go safely to a slam, as he had all the fillers in the other suits,

to make a daring play, he would have won the third diamond in his own hand, and then led the five of hearts, which West would win with the jack.

West then would return 'the ten of clubs, which should be won in dummy with the ace, and now the jack of spades is played and East is squeezed. If he drops the ace of hearts, declarer's ten will be good, while if he drops the nine of clubs, declaror will lead a small club from dummy, take it with the king, and win the Inst trick with the jack of clubs in dummy.
