rump should not be considered.

trump should not be considered.
Going back to the one diamond
bid, West passed, North responder
with two hearts. Remember this
Is one over one, one heart over one
diamond--a forcing bid from North
informing partner that he has
playable heart suit and at least one
and one-half tricks and requests
that the bidding be kept open once
more although no promise is made
for game. East passed.
Now what would you do with
South's hand? Knowing that part
ner holds one and one-half tricks,
we know that one trick must be the
king and queen of hearts and the
half trick can be the king of spades.
Supposing it is the king of clubs,
we can find a home for our losing
cards-the deuce of spades will so
on the queen of hearts and the five
of spades on the king of clubs, and
we will assume that we must lose
the king Of diamonds.
This would be o. k. unless West
happens to open a spade-then our
chances of going game are badly
ruined especially if West should
hold the king of diamonds. There
fore the psychic bidder realizing
that the only opening that can stop
him from making a small slam is
spade opening, deliberately bids two
spades, which is a forcing bid. He
need not fear the bidding will close
as he has demaded his partner to
keep it open. Now if West has a
broken spade distribution, it may
stop him from opening it. North
responds to the two spades with
three hearts showing that he has
nothing but his five-card minimum
heart bid. South then goes to six
diamonds which all pass. Some
players might want to double with
Vests holding but it is too danger
Gus.
The Play.
If South had not bid spades. West
in the majority of cases would open
with the jack of spades-the top Of
the two touching honors. But now
that South has forced with spades,
he is afraid that he may be leading
into the ace, queen, therefore it
looks as though the proper lead
would be the queen of clubs which
was opened in this case and it is
