{Gruenther: The Culbertsons exchanged accurate information concerning suit
length and distribution in the bidding of this hand. E.Culbertson rebid his
spades before showing his heart suit, indicating a probable 6-4 distribution.As it
happened, the Culbertson hands would have produced a game in spades, though
the selection of the heart suit was far more advisable.\n

{Jacoby: Although we succeeded in making game and rubber on the above hand, it
was through our opponents' error. This is another illustration of how
"Official" System players are handicapped by the constantly forced notrump bid after
an opening two-bid. After my partner had opened with a two diamond bid and I
had bid two notrump, he would have rebid his diamond suit playing any other
system; but as I would not be forced to keep the bidding open until a game bid
was reached,Lenz was afraid to bid three diamonds, as I might pass; and, having
no other game bid in a suit, he was forced to bid three notrump in spite of
his singleton. The hand was a lay-down for five diamonds. Even game at spades
would have been easy, although it could hardly have been bid.\n

{Culbertson: Lenz and Jacoby made a game on this hand due to Lenz's judgment
in tossing the "Official" System out of the window for the time being. Again
the "Official" two-bid . The response is possibly justified in view of holding a
seven-card suit, is not provided for in Lenz's book on the "Official" System.
Lenz is forced into a bid of four hearts as he cannot play notrump.\n

{Jacoby: This hand is an example of perfect bidding by Culbertson's. At first
glance it would seem that a slam should have been bid. A slam could have been
made if the diamond finesse had worked, but, irrespective of the result, the
Slam contract should not have been made, because when E.Culbertson overcalled
my four club bid with five clubs, indicating a void in that suit, J.Culbertson
realized immediately that the ace of clubs, the pride of her hand, would be
absolutely valueless to her partner, and for that reason she stopped at five
spades. A fine example of duplication of values.\n

{Gruenther: E. Culbertson's hand was far too strong to risk a simple Overcall
of two hearts. Yet he was afraid that his partner would pass a Jump Overcall;
so he doubled in order to force his partner to declare. After Lenz's voluntary
spade bid, J.Culbertson properly passed. E.Culbertson was now enabled to give
a better picture of his hand by again making a takeout double, to which
J.Culbertson responded with three clubs. E.Culbertson's three heart declaration was
a clear invitation for his partner to assist the heart bid with a weak hand,
or to rebid the clubs. J.Culbertson could tel1 that her husband was not
deliberately inviting a penalty to prevent a score by the opponents, but that be
felt quite positive that the combined hands should produce a game. According, she
elected to rebid her clubs, and E.Culbertson quite properly raised the
contract to five clubs, although, as the cards lay, a four heart declaration would
have been successful.\n

{Culbertson: One of the chief objections to the use of an Intermediate Two-Bid
is when players using the "Official" System open with a bid of one, partner
is naturally cautious about carrying the bidding to a Slam invitation even
though the Opening Bidder shows Rebid values. There can be no other explanation
than this for the failure of Lenz and Jacoby by to reach a Slam in the bidding
of this hand. Bid under the Approach-Forcing System by players who know the
Rule of Eight, it would necessarily have been played at six hearts.\n
