Bidding Quiz

You are South and have the following hand: ♦ KQ8542 V9 ♦ KQ63 *A7 1. You bid One Spade and partner’s response is Three Spades. What would you bid now? 2. East bids One Club, which you overcall with One Spade, and your partner bids One Notrump. What would you bid now? 3. North bids One Heart and, after you respond One Spade, North bids Two Hearts. What would you bid now? * » * 1. Four notrump. A small slam is nearly certain — about all you need from partner is a king and two aces. In fact, there is the possibility of a grand slam — if partner has three aces and a king — and Blackwood is the best method of learning whether partner has that ideal holding. If partner’s response is five diamonds, showing one ace, you sign off at five spades; if he bids five hearts, showing two aces, you bid six spades. If he bids five spades, showing three aces, you bid five notrump, asking about kings. And if he then bids six diamonds, God bless him, showing one king, you go all the way.

2. Four Spades. Partner was not required to respond to your overcall, and by doing so he evinced at least an interest in game. As you have an exceptionally sound overcall, you are in a position to compute that game is very likely. You therefore don’t stand on ceremony by bidding three spades, as this would not be forcing and partner might pass. Nor is there any advantage in bidding diamonds, for you don’t want to play in that suit High-card point count takes a back seat in hands of this type. It is true you have only 14 points in high cards, but that would be a dreadful way to evaluate the hand. Contracts are won by tricks, not by points, and here it is hard to imagine losing more than three tricks after partner voluntarily bids a notrump. 3. Three diamonds. This is a forcing bid which you should willingly make with a hand of such size facing an opening bid. What you do next depends on partner’s rebid. In view of his willingness to stop at two hearts, slam is practically out of the question, and the only problem is to find the best game contract. Three diamonds leaves room for all kinds of exploratory sequences at a safe level.

By Abigail Van Buren 9 if74 By Chicago TriOgne-N. Y. News SynO., Inc. DEAR ABBY: I was really surprised when Joyce asked me to be maid of honor for her wedding. We’ve been classmates for years, but go with different kids. I can’t understand why she chose me. She has many much closer friends. I accepted because I didn’t know how to refuse, but now I’m sorry, and I’d like to get out of it. I’ve already paid Joyce’s mom for the dress, but it hasn’t been altered. My mom and I gave a shower for Joyce. We invited her mom, sisters, aunts and friends, and they all acted like they were slumming. They openly snubbed my mom. I had a lump in my throat the whole time. My family says if I am in the wedding party they will go to the church only to see me, but not to the reception. My dad says he won’t go at all. They didn’t invite my steady boy friend to be my escort, so I won’t have anybody to talk to at the reception. At the last minute, should I say I have an illness in the family, and can’t go? Or just tell them the truth? DILEMMA D. DEAR DILEMMA: Don’t lie. Tell your friend that you have reconsidered and would like out. From what you say, she’ll be as glad to get off the hook as you will. DEAR ABBY: I am a widow in my 70s and I need some advice. I have four daughters, and if I asked them, I’d get four different answers. A few months ago I saw in the obituary column where the wife of an old boy friend of mine died, so I waited for what I thought was a reasonable length of time and then I wrote him a note and gave him my phone number and said it would be nice to talk to him some time. He called me up and we talked for a long time. In the conversation he said he’d like to see me again, but he hoped I wouldn’t expect any “kid stuff” in the love-making department. I rather got the idea that he was trying to tell me that he was too old for that sort of thing. Well. I’m not, and if that is what he meant I don’t want to waste my time with him as I don’t have a whole lot of time left. How can I find out without being too blunt? OLD BUT NOT TOO OLD DEAR OLD: I think he was trying to tell you that as far as he was concerned, his love-making days were beliind him. Wliether they are is anybody's guess, but if he thinks they are, they are. DEAR ABBY: With regard to your reference to the “law” requiring the presence of a nurse during a gynecological examination: An Irish doctor attributed it to the conceit of American women. I am a gynecologist who has practiced for 40 years, and I have always had a nurse present during examinations, but to my knowledge no law exists which requires it. Physicians in other countries, not being fair game for any and all “suit happy” patients, may have a hard time understanding this necessary precaution. My colleagues in the U. S. A. do. And they had better! H. H. S. [M. D.] DEAR M.D.: As I understand it, there is no such “law" —it's just a common practice among physicians. .And a wise one, for obvious reasons. For Abby’s booklet, “How to Have a Lovely Wedding." Mod fl to Abigail Van Burca. 132 Lasky Dr., Beverly Hills, Cal. H212.
