I'm the play I managed to win
nine tricks, although this was not
altogether a cinch with the killing
lead of the heart eight. My part
ner and I agreed, however, that the
hand was strong enough to warrant
a game contract. But there we
parted company.
North said I should have gone
on to three no-trump instead of
hanging" at one trick less than
game. thought North should have
bid three no-trump instead of ex-
pecting me to do so. What is your
decision?"
Those who read this column last
week will recall that we presented
this problem as one of our daily
questions. We agree with South.
AS our correspondent points out
the play for nine tricks is not just
matter of pushing out cards. If the
North hand were just trifle weaker,
1t would take either superlative skill
or excellent luck to produce nine
tricks. Yet II the North hand were
just a trif1e weaker, North would
still bid two no-trump-and quite
properly.
Why should South have to guess
which type of hand his partner
holds-one with which there is a
good play for nine tricks or one
with which the play for eight tricks
Is not too good? North has only to
look at his own hand to see that
there ought to be some good play
for nine tricks, no matter what
South has. Why then should he
pass the buck by bidding only two
no-trump? There are situations in
which 1t Is proper for a player to
make a slight underbid in order
not to encourage slam ambitions.
but in this case South's bidding
made 1t obvious that he would not
try for slam unless North bid 1t
all by himself. With that fear re-
moved, North should have made
sure OF getting to game by bidding
1t himself.
