LESSON A CONTINUED

ILfIoSOTN IF NOEN OLD When Should Grand Slam Be Bid? A grand slam should be bid only when it Is Q three-to-one gamble, if then. Let us discuss the ques- tion.
 All authorities are fully agreed that 1t Is practically impossible to reach a L.and slam contract with absolute certainty. There is no way to determine when there is a duplication of values in the two hands; or when an adversary will ruff the opening lead; or when even with a suit of ten cards in the partnership hands the balance will be so divided between the ad- versaries as to guarantee that the bidders will capture some neces- sary outstanding honor in the trump or an outside suit. Also 1t Is to be remembered that jacks, tens, and sometimes hines are fre- quently required to achieve a grand slam and certainly no system of card accounting provides for a method where these lower, but fre- quently highly important cards may be located in advance.
 Even experts rarely bid for a grand slam and the less efficient player should never do so. VALUING HANDS FOR SLAMS
 AT SUIT BIDDING In valuing hands for slam at a suit bid, either as declarer or in support of declarers bids, the tables given in Lessons One and Seven should be used. The assist tna v,1 Ia y,ntfat 0iVa UraAt consideration to his first--and sec- values. such combina- tions as AK. A-Q, A and Xxx. Of course, there must be adequate sup port for the bid suit, and distribu- ton is an important factor. Void suits with full trump support are helpful, while worthless doubletons and tripletons are hazardous. VALUING HANDS FOR SLAMS
 AT NO-TRUMP BIDDING When contemplating a slam at no-trump, the combined hands should have count of 35 for a small slam and 3s for a grand slam.
 This count should not include the value of two tens as one; nor should any value be placed on low cards of a suit of five or more headed by ace-king-queen.
