All opening two bids with the exception of two clubs) are made on weak hands and are primarily made for interference purposes or to indi- cate possible vulnerable save, since the nature of the hand upon which such @ bid is made, while weak, is freakish. Two diamonds, however, is rarely bid, because of its lack of the interference quality.
 The opening two bid is most ef- fective when the bidder holds long string of spades, although it is mod erately effective with hearts. Its chief virtue rests in the fact that 1t interferes mildly with the partner ship bidding of the opponents and. in some cases, causes the opponents to choose wrong final game con- tract.
 In other cases they may be spurred on by the interference bid to contract for a non-makable slam. Hence, with opponents of certain temperaments, this bid may be used as a double cross. For example, a bid of two spades may spur the opponents to take wlaaA they deem to be appro- priate action. and only discover too late that the bid had real teeth.
