est compliments you can pay to a
bridge player,
Do you know what II means? II
does not imply that he Is brilliant.
fancy or tricky. but that he Is de-
pendable. II means that you can
generally count on him to have
about the kind of hand he has in
dicated by his action during the
bidding-the auction" as that
preliminary stage Of the game Is
called In the official laws.
II there Is some one factor more
important than any other in what
you do in the auction. 1t Is your
soundness. BY being dependable
and sound most Of the time. your
partner will be able to get a pref
ty good idea Of what you hold In
your hand. Combining that with
what he holds In his hand will aid
him to know what the pair should
be able to do In the play which
follows the bidding.
In bridge. the number Of tricks
you can take with your own hand
is Of only secondary Importance.
What you and your partner COM
bined can do Is what really counts.
for a trick taken by you Is just as
valuable to him as one taken by
himself. and a trick taken by him
Is Just as valuable to you as one

Fine Points in Bridge

information on what his partner
holds, and he may bid again II
advisable.
Frequently the bidding goes
back and forth between partners
a number Of times, each bid maxi
ing clearer what the pairs COM
bined hands can accomplish, until
finally the best contract Is
reached.
A good deal Of the time, both
sides make bids. You and your
partner may be doing quite lot
Of bidding back and forth, but the
opponents also may be taking
positive action instead Of passing
all of the time. That Is especially
so II one pair has most OF the
cards In a certain suit or couple
Of suits. and the opponents have
most of the cards in some Other
suit or suits. In those cases, you
may see quite a real battle to de-
eide who will buy the contract"
II Is then Just like an auction sale
In which there are opposing bid
ders. the highest bidder getting
the goods. That Is why 1t Is called
the auction"
Sometimes one pair bids a good
deal and its opponents make per-
haps only one bid or two. and the
stronger side then keeps on bid
ding back and forth while the op-
ponents retire into their shell and
only pass. II the strong side finally
reaches 100 high point. the oppo-
nents may then come to life again
by doubling, In order to increase
the score they will get II they de-
feat the contract. which they ex.
pect to defeat.
But even the doubling by ono
player is based on the number Of
tricks he thinks his side can take
against the other side-the num-
Der Of tricks he believes win DO
taken by 20 cards, his 10 and his
partners 10.
The most important factor.
then. in your bidding, Is to think
Of what your pair can do, not Just
what your hand can do. II you and
your partner are dependable bid
ders. and help each other In. this
process. you are sound bidders.
Try TO be one.
