Solution In next issue.

50 for the less than game contract, or total of plus 200 points.
 Problem in Bidding
 The bidding of the hand is quite a problem. Of course, if West overcalls and even though North does double, South should enter including again by showing his heart suit. Thsi will be supported by North and it should not be diff ficult to arrive at a small slam contract, at least.
 But when West passes, there are a lot of players who will pass the North hand. While North does have the queen and jack of his partners suit and five-card suit. most players do not like to keep the bidding open without two probable entries.
 Others, with the queen and jack of their partners suit and a i've card suit of their own, especially a major, believe in giving their partners a chance on the hand with a bid of one no trump. If south gets a no trump chance-giving bid from partner, he should force in hearts on the next round.
 I give you this hand to show you that even the experts. on certain types of hands, do not come close to the best contract, but that is what makes contract an interest ing game.
