In today's deal he had enough

but he had far from a no-trumpI
opening by today's standards.
Nevertheless, MIR. Fusty was quite
proud Of the results he got. He
felt that the no-trump small slam
would not have been reached If he
had not opened the bidding as he
did.
Plenty Of Entries.
Mr.. Heinsite pointed out, however,

spot on the hand and that seven
spades could have been made, as
the cards were.
He explained that Mr.. Fusty would
win any opening lead and reverse
the dummy. That is, he would set
up the dummy hand rather than
his own.
He had plenty Of entries on the
board so that he would ruff three
Of dummy's clubs in his own hand.
After that operation dummy would
have no losers.
Losing Proposition.
Most players would open the
South hand with one spade. Then,
At least they would have chance
to reach the top contract. Perhaps
the grand slam would not have
been reached anyway.
But this can tell you, opening a
just for the purpose Of
showing your count will be losing
proposition more often than not.
An opening bid should show some
thing about distribution as well as
the high-card content Of your hand.
