When both partners have made bids, a free four no trump bid shows either two aces and the king of a suit bid by the, partner ship, or three aces. The response is five no trump if the other player has two aces or one ace and the kings of all bid suits.
 Otherwise the sign-off is five of the lowest ranking suit bid by the partnership. #
 When a player holds all four, aces, he bids four and then five no trump. He is sure of a chance to bid again because four no trump is a forcing bid.
 In today's hand, North's re- sponse of five no trump showed the ace. of clubs and all the. kings South needed for a grand slam.
