Solution to Previous Contract Problem.

By W. E. McKenney

I was playing with a now. partner recently, and he said to me, "I your reversal of sults showing a forcing bid?" I said, "I presume what you are referring to Is the bidding of a minor sult first and a major on the next round."

He said, "Yes, is that a forcing bid with you?" My reply was, "Not as a conventional bid, but naturally, on a common sense basis, at certain times I am showing a good hand."

Now we do not just bid the minor ault first because it is a five-card auit. We have to do a little analyz- ing as to what may happen. So you say to yourself,

"If I bid a diamond, it looks as if my partner's response is golas, to be two clube, because I hold a singleton and, if he has a bid at

Today's Contract Problem

sarily show a big hand, because "Now, if he bids two clubs, my you are still in, the one zone. next bid can safely be two spades and my partner will know that Ii have a strong hand, because, when I bid two spades, I am telling him that, if he has better diamonds than spades, he is perfectly safe in taking the contract to three dia- monds."

Therefore, with a hand as strong as this, we are safe in opening the minor sult, firat:

Now let us change the douce of diamonds to the douce of hearts We have four spades, four hearts, four diamonds," and a "alugleton club. You can still bid a dinmond, hoplag

thint

your partner can bid one of the two majors. If he blus two clubs, your hand still is strong enough to bid two spades, and be will know that you have a four- card spade ault and a good hand.

Now let us take hand No. 2: Be- fore opening the bid with this type of hand, you must say to yourself, "If I bid one diamond and my partner bids two clubs, my hand is not

to bid two strong enough spades, because when I bid two spudes I tell my partner that I have-a-strong-hand-and-be--can- safely go to three diamonds, or if he has spude support he can go to three spades.

"But if I bid a diamond and my partner bids two clubs, I can safely aign the hand off by bidding two diamonds. However, if I bid a día- mond and my partner bids a heart, I can bid a spade, and as this is still in the one zone, it will not show a big hand and the bidding will not get too high."

So, aumming it all up, you will find that, if you bid a minor suit and then a major, and the second bid is in the two zone (for ex- ample: one diamond, two clubs by partner, two spades by you, which would force your partner to take you to three. if he wants to sup port the first suit), you must have a strong hand. But if you open up with a minor suit (one diamond- by you, one heart by partner, one (apade by you), this does not neces-
