The other evening the writer had the
pleasure Of playing at n of the New
York Card Clubs where the informatory
double is not recognized nor played.
After the game was over, there was a
spirited discussion as to the merits and
dement's of the informatory double.
Most of the objections we're based on
specific instances where the use of the
informatory double was disastrous: but,
upon analysis, every one Of these cases
proved only that the player in fault had
used the informatory double without a
proper understanding OF what he was
doing. First understand what you are
doing. and then if you don't get good
results give up the theory. But it is
hardly fair to condemn anything with
out a fair trial
For years the English refused to try
out the informatory double, but during
the last year they have finally capitu-
lated and nov think it is the greatest
addition to the game since its inception
The following hands. given as problems
in the preceding article. are examples
OF the problems the English are meeting
in their study of the informatory double
and should prove interesting and in
structive:

that reason, A should have passed one
