Conquering Contract
BY P. HAL SINS

servable when the responder has made
a suit takeout. to which the opener re-
plies with either two no trumps or
three in the suit. The responding
hand seems to be frequently put TO q
very difficult guess whether to play
for probable partial score undoubled
or to go three no trumps and risk be-
ing doubled and, presumably. set.
Avoiding the No Trump Predicament
Situation.
My friends and myself have given
this subpect great deal Of thought
and experimentation and have worked
out solution which. though undoubt-
edly not the last word on the subject.
proves satisfactory in actual practice
1t avoids the risk of a severe penalty
even on a misfit hand and loses very
few games through failing to bid for
them. We are sometimes defeated a
trick in game contracts. but the pro-
portion Is reasonably low and there is
nearly always play of some kind for
game, defeat coming generally from
some freakiSh massing of one of more
suits or CT the adversely held face
cards
Establishing a Sound Basis.
The soundness of our original no
trump bids is not the only safety factor
The responding hand also makes a
contribution. This is permitted by the
fact that the opening bid implies some
kind of rebid in itself Perhaps /
can make 1t clearer by saying that a
Sims no trumper is at least as strong
hand as one on which most otner
systems would both bid and rebid once
over response from the partner. This
means that if the partner makes any
response, there is really no risk Of our
being doubled in a contract for two
odd. Doubled penalties are really cnly
to be feared
ta) If the partner is so weak that

one opponent can double and the other
can make a business pass" In this
eventuality you play the doubled con-
tract for one-odd only.
tb) If you get to three no trumps.
In the process OF getting there you
should have taken several soundings
to avoid the shoal. Nevertheless. &C.
casionally the devil Is in the cards and
one of the opponents holds the out
standing face cards with clearable
suit in such form that he can double.
You may have overbid trifie. or per-
haps your bidding was not open to any
criticism. but the cards were merciless
Accept the penalty when 1t comes.
The recompense will come on other
hands when you are on sure ground
and can redouble. I find / am able
to redouble quite half the doubled

double pays rich dividend three times
