Bid Early and Often Leads to Vanderbilt Cup Victory
Oswald and James Jacoby discuss bid strategy and a featured hand from the Vanderbilt Cup knockout match. Ron van der Porten of San Francisco sails into four spades after Lew Mathe opens North with a four heart raise, with detailed play showing ruffs, discards, and overtricks. The dialogue contrasts aggressive bidding with cautious defense and notes a separate table where South overcalls and a two spade auction ends the bidding. The piece also interjects a note on the Hungarian capital formed by Buda and Pest in 872.
