 This hand seems to me too strong for bid of only 1. With trump support and little else. game should be possible. Lacking the Honor Trick strength necessary to keep a bid open partner will pass and game will be missed.
 The responses to the opening 2 bid have also been somewhat re- vised. We will now show 6 card or longer suit regardless of how weak the hand may be in Honor Trick strength, or card suit headed by F Honor Trick. This change in responding has splendid advantages and I consider it one of the most important changes in the 1941 system. Here are hands which will illustrate the new bid:

 North opens with 3 Diamonds and South with 6 card suit will bid the Suit,-2 Hearts, and the Contract will be played at Hearts. But with the old method of bidding the Heart suit could not be shown. In re- Sponse to the 2 Diamond bid South would have to bid 2 Notrump. North would then bid 3 Spades, South would certainly hesitate to show the Heart suit at the level and would bid 3 Notrump, as he cannot sup port either Diamonds or Spades. The other responses to 2 open ing bid are: Raise partners suit once with at least Honor Trick and adequate trump support. Ra1se from to 4 with 5 trumps or e X with no singleton and no card higher than a c. This raise to in partners opening suit bid of 2 conveys the information that you think game is the limit of the hand.
 A 2 Notrump response is the neg ative bid and denies strength, but with 11a Honor Tricks bid 3 Mo- trump or with plus Honor Tricks show any biddable suit.

Lesson 10.

Lesson 10.
 The new 1941 CulbertSon System has brought changes in the open ing 2 bid. This bid is the strongest bid in bridge. It obligates both partners to keep the bidding open until game is reached unless either partner makes a penalty double.
 The requirements for an opening 3 bid in a suit are based on the new Rule of 13. If your hand con- tains at least AZ Honor Tricks and your winners and Honor Tricks to- tai 13 you have an opening 2 bid providing your trump suit is at least 5 cards in length headed by A K or KQJ, or a 6 card suit A o or K O.
