Opening lead—five of clubs. You might think that in world championship play the mental lapses which occasionally beset all of us would not occur, but the fact is that even the top experts sometimes develop feet of clay at crucial moments. For example, take this hand played by Italy and Great Britain in 1965. D'Alelio (East for Italy) opened with a club, indicating a balanced hand with 12 to 16 high-card points. Konstam doubled and West (Pabis Tied), in line with the Roman Club system, responded at diamond to show negative

values. Flint doubled for penalties and D’Alelio passed, indicating support for diamonds. But after Konstam passed, Pabis Tied bid one spade, his real suit, and Flint then showed interest in reaching a game by cuebidding spades. It was now that Konstam fell from grace by bidding three spades. Somehow or other the bidding had confused him and he thought Flint had length in spades. In line with this he therefore raised spades. Flint was baffled by the bid, but assumed he was being asked to choose another suit as trump. Accordingly, he bid four hearts. But Konstam, still in a state of confusion, bid four spades, which Pabis Ticci doubled and which Flint, now thoroughly puzzled, passed. A terrible disaster might now have occurred except that when four spades doubled came back to Konstam he asked for a review of the bidding. When this was furnished and he realized he had misunderstood the bidding, he ran to four notrump. This was doubled by East and became the final contract Konstam made tejj tricks on the nose for a score of 810 points. At the other table, the British East opened with a notrump, West responded two spades, was allowed to play there, and went down one. So Great Britain gained 760 points on the deal, which apparently proves that confusion some-

times pays.
