Vanderbilt Club variant and a bridge hand question
The article discusses the Vanderbilt Club bidding system, its ace king point treatment, and a New Jersey regional hand where South aimed for five hearts but defense capped the contract at four spades. It notes Mike Vanderbilt’s modernization of the convention, cites past national titles, and presents a sample table with South holding 47543 and YVAQ86 OKI5S4 HF. The column asks how to proceed after South bids two spades and partner bids three hearts, with tomorrow’s answer promised.
