with the question, What would you rebid if your partner responded with Clubs, over your opening bid of l Spade?" We will analyze our rebid from the standpoint of what would be our safest bid. Certainly 8 re- bid in spades would not be safe, the suit is only in the Conditional class. We cannot raise the bid to Clubs for we do not have adequate trump support or sufficient Honor Trick strength. A bid of No trump would show at least 3 1-2 Honor Tricks and would be very encouraging for partner to continue the bidding, so that bid would not be safe. The best rebid therefore on this hand is 2 Diamonds. With this bid we are not increasing the contract, neither are we giving partner any encourage ment regarding additional values. Should my partner prefer Spades to Diamonds he can show that prefer ence at the same level. If he passes my 2 Diamond rebid, he must like that suit better and the contract should be safe. If he rebids Clubs, am satisfied, and should he bid 2 Hearts, that contract also should be safe. By my rebid of Diamonds with this hand have made it easy for my partner to respond, should his hand warrant another bid and I have kept within the safety zone.
 The following are examples ot minimum requirements for suit take-outs in response to your part ner,s opening bid of l Heart, ii there is no intervening bid.
