Der bridge it pays to stretch a
little, and in tournament bridge
it is necessary to bid accurate
ly.
The bonus for making game
at rubber bridge is big, while
there is not much loss for going
down one. When a tournament
player sits in a rubber game,
he is apt to double too quickly,
become just a little bit greedy,
and he probably will play con-
tracts at no trump that should
be played at a suit contract in
rubber bridge.
Recently I saw a match be-
tween two fine tournament play
ers and two good rubber bridge
players, in which today's hand
brought out my point. Wher
North doubled, South bid two
spades to show that he had al.
most an opening bid. North cor
rectly showed his diamond suit,
but when South bid three
spades, North thought it would
probably be easier to take ten
tricks with the combined hands
rather than eleven-so he bic
four spades.
West then made a typical
tournament error. He doubled
North promptly ran out to five
diamonds. East doubled this
more or less in disgust rather
than on merit.
It is true that West had made
an original bid, and East helc
four trumps, but there was NJ
way to defeat the contract
With the heart opening, NORTH
could lose only a diamond anc
a heart.

Both Stong and the editorial heads

opportunity for agreement. The Sun
