he is the originator of the Van
derbilt bidding system.
This system incorporates an
artificial club bid to show a hand
containing about three and one
half honor tricks. Partner is
forced to respond and any re-
Spouse other than one diamond
shows about two tricks. Here is
an example Of the use Of the
Vanderbilt club convention.
Despite his long strong club
suit, North must not bid two
clubs over the conventional club
bid by South. He must respond
with one diamond. to show less
than two honor tricks. But hav-
ing done this duty, he is entitled
to make . jump takeout over
one no trump. Il
South realizes at once, after
hearing the diamond response,
that North cannot hold two aces.
Therefore q slam appears impos-
sible, and South must put on the
brakes no matter how strongly
North bids. II North has one ace
and q void, he must make up his
own mind about the slam. Hence,
over four clubs South is careful
not to indulge in any slam try,
such as four no trump.
II is too difficult to stop at the
right contract of five after . slam
try. The simple raise TO five
clubs says, "As you won't agree
to stop at three no trump, / will
play five clubs, but I can't pro-
pose any higher contract"
