hand. In other words he is inviting
a slam.
TINE rule for inviting a slam, as
l. outlined in the -Four Aces
System, is as follows:
''YoC can invite slam first. with
a balanced hand, if you can remove
an ace from your hand and still
have a sound bid or response, or
second, with an unbalanced hand
that is a hand with a singleton Or
a void-When you can remove a
king from your hand and still have
sound bid or response"
YOU will see that the rule governs
the bidding from two angles, that
of the bidder and that of the re-
sponder.
Now, over North's three spade
bid, South must make a response.
If he bids four diamonds, this will
be considered as a slam invitation
by North.
Souths hand contains a single
ton, so, if he can remove a king
from his hand and still have a sound
original bid, he would be justified
in showing the second suit.
AS the hand is not strong enough
for this, South can not bid the dia-
mond suit, but must sign off with a
bid of four spades.
If the queen of hearts we're a
king, although South has only a
minimum original bid. his favor
able distribution should invite a
slam with a bid of four diamonds.
