Suits Backed by Snubbed Hand Highlight Bidding Principle
A brief note references a contract bridge bidding misunderstanding noted by experts on Friday March 12 1977. The column cites players and a diagrammed hand to illustrate a common misread of suit support and signaling.
Bridge bidding misstep leads to missed contract lesson
A bridge column explains why a South player opened clubs with four four and then rebid notrump to show a minimum hand. North balanced with 13 points and reached three notrump, defeating five hearts and a diamond. The piece notes a better line would have been to bid spades if possible and warns about stop-bid concepts. It ends with a horoscope tease for Aquarius about a career gain today.
