McKENNEY America’s Card Authority Written for NEA Service While the play of a hand may be a complicated matter, generally there is only a right and a wrong way to handle it. Most of the ar guments in tournament bridge con cern the bidding. There is rarely a hand that is bid in the same way at the ma jority of tlje tables in a contest, and I doubt if there ever has been a hand bid exactly the same at every table. In today’s hand, for example, only two pairs out of fifteen reach ed a six contract. One pair arrived at seven diamonds, and although they got one good break in the drop of .the doubleton queen and jack of diamonds, the unfortunate club distribution prevented them from making seven. This pair later agreed that the contract should not have begn played at seven diamonds. North should hav taken the contract to seven spades, because he knew from the jump bi'd of fwe clubs that South must have at least the ace and king of clubs, on which North’s two small diamonds could be discarded. However, it is interesting to note that if South had held the queen and jack of spades, seven diamonds could have been made. Without the jack of spades South did not have sufficient entries to provide against the bad club break. At seven spades the club break did not affect the hand. Going back to , the bidding, South’s cue-bid in hearts guaran teed no losers in that suit and showed at least four spades. In other words, you do not make a cue-bid on the early rounds unless you have at least four of your partner’s suit, or a solid suit of your own. South’s five-club bid may have been too optimistic, but it was the only way he could show his part ner the top honors in clubs. This was the bid that ultimately got th* contract up to a grand slam.
