There wasn't much to the play Of
the hand. South had to play very
carefully to be set only three tricks
at contract which his side had bid
voluntarily!
The culprit. of course, was North.
That gentleman was stunned by the
disaster and could not be persuaded
that he had done anything wrong.
Look at my wonderful support for
spades he said With all that
spade strength in my hand, I was
sure my partner had strength out
side to Justify his bid. We belonged
in a game. so I Just bid it. What's
the use of beating around the bush?'
You've probably seen that sort OF
bidding before, and perhaps you've
heard the same sort of fallacious
argument in its favor so it will help
II you know just where the fallacy
Is II South has substantial strength
outside of spades. he can do his own
bidding: it isn't necessary for North
to bid his partners hand for him.
More important, North simply
hasn't any real strength which was
not shown by his opening bid. If you
switched his spades and clubs, the
hand would be Just as strong COR
Just as weak and there would be no
temptation TO overbid the hand so
much The spade strength was re-
ouired for the opening bid. and when
North raised to four spades he was
bidding a second time on the same
values which he had already shown.
