Whilst this magnificent effort was given in order to fulfil a paltry 2 Club contract the play is given in detail in order to show its technique. Needless to add, as in many cases, the brilliant Grand Coup springs from the poor defense by the opponents. }|pg||nt||pg||

In the open room the English North-South players applied the right principle at the wrong time and by over-approaching not only permitted the Americans to exchange some valuable information but pushed each other into a defeated contract.|pg||nt|In the closed room Mrs. Culbertson quite correctly opened the bidding with a semi-shut-out 3 Heart bid, and Mr. Gottlieb read her hand exactly and made a very beautiful pass.|pg||nt|Beasley: This deal was interesting in that most of the hands were more or less one-suited. I opened with a Heart, and after the Spade bid from my partner and a 2 Diamond overbid from Culbertson, felt justified in jumping the bidding on the enormous length of my Hearts. Domville, however, had to rebid Spades with his singleton Heart, and we finished in an impossible contract of 4 Spades doubled.

It seems they should have smelled out the nearness of the game and not merely stopped at a 3 Diamond contract. 
George Morris made a very fine lead of Queen of Diamonds. In the open room, I led the King of Clubs.|pg||nt|It is a moot question as to whether a trump lead is the best when holding 4 cards in a suit previously bid by declarer. A trump lead may pull out the valuable trumps in Partner's hand and thus prevent him from over-ruffing the dummy. }|pg||nt||pg||

Under the usual conditions an overcall of 1 Heart is fairly safe. East precedes his Spade bid by a Take-out Double in order to show 3 or more Honour tricks. At this stage Sir G.Domville makes a fine psychic Spade bid. He fears that opponents might get together on a game in Spades.|pg||nt|Note please that Domville's Spade bid is safe since he has already warned his Partner that his best suit is Clubs. Furthermore he is not vulnerable while opponents are. Domville's brilliant psychic proves to be a dud. Unfortunately for him East's Spade suit is too strong. The game is bid and made in Spades. }|pg||nt||pg||

North makes an irregular opening bid of 1 Club which eventually leads the partnership into a blind alley and shuts out a lay-down game in Diamonds. The disadvantage of irregular or artificial opening bids on 3 card or shorter suits is the same as with an opening 1 No Trump bid. In both cases a precious round of bidding information might be lost.|pg||nt|Beasley: I opened with a somewhat comic bid of 1 Club, since my strength lay so much in that direction. East overbid with 1 Hearts. and with his peculiar distribution my partner might have chanced 2 Clubes.The fact that he did not led me to pass the subsequent 1 Spades bid of Culbertson's with the result that we missed a game in Diamonds. Perhaps if I had opened with 1 Diamond we might have got the five Diamonds that was easily possible.

I the author, oblivious of the Culbertson system,  relapsed into some form of atavism. For no reason at all he opens the bidding with 1 Spade instead of with 1 Diamond, the longest suit. As a result of this initial error there arises a chain of bids where both the author and his partner are hopelessly trapped in an impossible contract of 4 Spades, while a game of No Trumps was lay down.|pg||nt|Beasley: This hand was remarkable for the fact that in each case the declarer was badly caught when such an event seemed unlikely.  Culbertson's forcing hand bid of 1 Spades was contrary to his usual practice. At any rate, his usual practice looks a much better bid-that is to bid 1 Spades. From that moment his partner knows for certain that he has a four-card Spade suit and they do not arrive at such a difficult contract. }|pg||nt||pg||

Mr. Gottlieb made a very doubtful semi-psychic Heart bid considering that he was vulnerable, and that his suit was not even strong enough to be re-bid. As a result, Mrs. Culbertson was hopelessly trapped in a doubled contract. |pg||nt|This and Hand No 12 are the worst bid hands of the American team throughout the entire match except one, No. 14. 
|pg||nt|Beasley: Gottlieb made one of the lightest openings seen yet, and Morris with his colossal hand only elected to make just a plain over-bid of 1 Spades That had the effect of leading the Americans properly up the garden path, and though Mrs. Culbertson was very unfortunate to find such a mass of Clubs over her, their disastrous crash was undoubtedly due to Gottlieb's almost criminal opening bid. }|pg||nt||pg||

I am not sure that 1 Spades is not a better bid on my hand, but I elected to bid my longer suit first, namely Clubs. I was able to bid Spades in the subsequent bidding, and we finished a 4 Spades contract. I rather plead guilty to missing this contract unnecessarily, though it was an extremely difficult hand to play. I think I made a bad misjudgment in playing the Ace of Hearts at trick three. }|pg||nt||pg||

A shocking rescue bid of 2 Diamonds by North was then doubled by Mr. Lightner. This double is of course a penalty double since West had already made a penalty pass on the previous round. Perfect understanding of the Culbertson Take-out Doubles and responses produced a much needed 700 points. |pg||nt|Beasley: a great deal of criticism was levelled at me for my rescue bid of 2 Diamond after Culbertson had left in his partner's negative double. All this criticism, I fear, was justified, as a player of my experience ought to know better by this time than to indulge in such fancy rescues. I hardly think Domville's 2 Spades bid was good considering that he was vulnerable, but it is very doubtful if he would have been more than one down, so the blame is entirely mine. }|pg||nt||pg||

Even then his partner might have bid Diamonds and not Hearts, in which case it is difficult for them to get into the 4 Hearts contract, which is the best result of the hand.

The hand requires slightly more distributional or other strength to make it a sound 2 bid. North-South, however, were rather unlucky in failing to make their contract. However, having gone 3 Spades he should have read my 4 Hearts bid as simply a preference bid. Even then he might have got 4 Hearts by some super play which would also have amounted to double-dummy play.|pg||nt|Beasley: Gottlieb only opened with 1 Hearts. but having got something of an encouraging response he forced with 3 Spades on the next round. He also should have taken his partners 4 Hearth bid for a preference one, but he suddenly brought into action their famous 4 No Trump affair. Mrs. Culbertson signed off by bidding the lowest ranking suit yet bid they failed more miserably than we in the endeavour to get five. }|pg||nt||pg||
