Astro bidding and bridge outcomes in 1970 world championship
A bridge column discusses the Astro convention used by Norway in the 1970 world championship match against the United States. North shows a hand with five hearts and five diamonds or clubs, leading to five clubs by South. The other table lacked Astro. North overcalled spades with two hearts, South jumped to four hearts, West bid four spades, and South doubled but went down. Norway scores 990 to the Americans 400 and 590. Tomorrow: Signaling.
