Opening lead, king OF clubs.
Some old line players have fire.
quently been heard to protest that
the advent of artificial conventions
in slam bidding has deprived the
game of much of its charm. can
see their point. The swashbuckling,
daredevil methods Of the early days
were great fun, and what they lacked
in scitntific perfection they made up
for in adventure.
While no writer on the game is
willing to indorse some, OF their hit
or-miss methods, nevertheless there
is this inescapable truth, that the
overemphasis Of precision deprives
you Of the opportunity of playing on
the frailty of human nature, on the
weakness Of your opponents. Many
an unmakable slam has been fulfilled
because the defense had to guess cor
rectly on the opening lead. And the
best of them can misguess.
Todays' offering was culled from
one of the national championship
events. South opened the bidding
with one heart and North responded
with two diamonds. At this point,
the superscientific players would
make forcing bid by jumping In .
new suit Cthree spades and follow
ing 1t up with q vigorous diamond
raise on the next round. South de-
cided that this was not an ideal
hand for precision bidding. That II
East did not open spade. there
would be a very fine chance to fulfill
the contract and that even If he did,
there ought to be some sort Of play
for the hand, depending upon
North's heart holding. He therefore
bid six diamonds directly East nat
urslly opened the king of clubs and
there was nothing to the play Of the
hand. At another table, South's sec.
ond bid was three spades. West sus-
.pected that some highway robbery
was afoot and doubled, because he
felt that South was trying to head
off that lead. North and South went
brazenly through with their slam
effort, but East opened a spade and
the contract failed when the heart
finesse did not work.
Just one more case in which the
splashing method proved more effec-
tive than the accurate technique OF
the purest. -.
