Mr.. Schenken.

In the Four Aces System, the open
ing bid Of one notrump represents a
high card value OF 1lla to 10. Hence,
with high card value OF l2la and
eight honors, Mr. Schenken had an
absolute maximum opening notrump
bid. West passed, and now Mr..
Gushing counted his hand and found
his high card value was II. Adding
this to 1ll2 (the minimum shown by
his partners notrump), Mr.. Cushing
counted 23l2 as the minimum COM
bined strength OF the two hands.
Hence, the most the opponents could
hold would be 2l2 points represented
by either king and jack or two
queens and jack, and accordingly,
at worst, Mr.. Schenken would have a
finesse for the small slam. Further
more, II Mr.. Schenken had a maxi
mum notrump, the grand slam should
be made. Hence, Mr.. Gushing jumped
Immediately to six notrump, thereby
inviting bid of seven.
Mr.. Schenken knew that his part
ner's jump to six notrump invited
seven and showed a high card value
of 11l2 to II. Hence, he knew that
the combined hands totaled either
"a or 24'2, and that, at worst, the
grand slam would depend on a finesse
or squeeze. Accordingly, he bid the
seven.
West opened the deuce OF spades.

factory for purposes Of game bidding
but they often get one into trouble on
slam bids since the fact that you
know how many quick tricks your

many you miss. The -Four Aces point
count, on the other hand, enables you
and your partner to have an exact
idea OF your combined strength and
makes notrump slam bidding matter
