Culbertson: Lightner makes a shrewd sacrifice bid of five Clubs. In spite of
my take-out double which shows strength the four Spade contract looks hopeless
to him.\n
Beasley: This ended up as a hand with several awkward decisions to be made by
all players. The bidding all round was proved to be accurate. Domville and I
bid up to 4 Spades which can be made; but Lightner took the view that as his
hand was useless in defense he could save the game fairly cheap in 5 Clubs
after his partner's strong bidding. This proved correct, as they were only 1 down
but I declined to go to 5 Spades which was just as well! \n

Culbertson: An irregular but brilliantly lax-sighted bid by Gottlieb. He is
evidently preparing to bid three suits it necessary. The strength of his hand
warrants it provided partner makes some sort of a response. Not vulnerable I
prefer to double, It is both more informative and more concealing.\n
Note that in this case failure to double shuts out valuable information on
the Club suit, and thus prevents the British team from making a sacrifice of
five Club bid and saving a game in Spades at a cost of a paltry hundred points.\n
Beasley: The American pair were allowed to bid and make 4 Spades. The East
and West combination not showing quite as much flair for the situation.  \n

{

Culbertson: Culbertson attempts to inhibit opponents. If vulnerable he should
pass. A forcing bid of 3 Spades or better still a forcing call of 3 Clubs is
more scientific than 4 Diamonds. If 3 Clubs were bid by North, South would
have had an opportunity to respond with a very subtle bid of 4 Clubs and thus
show an ace of Clubs and one of the possible duplications of values. A bid of 3
Clubs by North over West's 2 Clubs might have stopped the lead.\n
A keen analyst might argue that such a bid may coax Partner to contract for a
losing Grand Slam. The answer is that the proper use of the 4 and 5 No Trump
convention makes this danger rather remote.\n
Beasley: After Domville's opening bid a slam looked likely to me in spite of
the interposing bid by Culbertson. l waited events with 4 Diamonds and
Domville made the excellent call of 5 Clubs. I might then have gone to 5 Hearts to
find out where the Ace of Spades was, but elected to go straight for the small
slam, which was easily achieved.\n

{

Culbertson: This forcing bid is the first step towards a possible Slam and
shows either two aces or 3 aces. A very doubtful bid. Note that Mrs. Culbertson
jumped to 6 Diamonds after South's 5 Clubs. The inference is decidedly
discouraging for a Grand Slam for if North is strong enough to bid 6 Diamonds and yet
previously bids only 4 No Trump-rather than 5 No Trumps-which would have
shown 3 aces and a King-it follows that one of the aces was missing.\n
A beautiful negative inference which Gottlieb, who is usually so brilliant,
failed to make.\n
Beasley: The American pair used or misused their 4 No Trump Convention.
Gottlieb's introduction of a new suit when he bid 5 Clubs was far too dangerous and
ended in a misunderstanding with the deservedly disastrous results.  \n

Culbertson: A Diamond is far more scientific than a No Trump bid There is
nothing more vague in Bridge than No Trumps, with a strong hand it is as a rule
more advantageous to build up the bidding in a manner to give and obtain the
maximum of information. The bid by Culbertson is dangerous, even not vulnerable.
He knows, however, that his opponents are not quick on the trigger of penalty
doubles. No Trump is more informative for it tells about a possible stopper.\n
Ultra Conservative. Does South need 5 aces?\n

Culbertson: I prefer to take a slight risk of being left in 2 Hearts for the
advantage of careful building up of inferences without overcrowding the
bidding. The swing that I got on this hand amply justified such a treatment of this
freak. 3 Diamonds is an inferential force since the bidding is voluntarily
opened. Lightner who was dormant until now, becomes a raging volcano.\n
His reasons quite properly that 1f I am strong enough to force him to a
vulnerable game, he is strong enough to look around for a Slam. A bid of 5 Diamonds
would be construed as a sign off. A fatal error due to inability to trust the
opponent. It is far more important to trust the enemy than the Partner and
had North listened more carefully to the inferences exchanged he would have
realized that, in spite of his apparently powerful hand, he was in the hands of
the enemy. \n
An apparently daring re-double but withal quite sound. Lightner's 4 No Trump
is the key to the re-double for it is impossible to conceive a reasonable
combination where more than one trick can be lost at the worst \n
Beasley: Lightner and Culbertson's bidding was very bright and the use of the
4 No Trump bid this time came in very handy, enabling Culbertson to read his
partner's hand very accurately when he made his 6 Diamond bid. My double was
rather ill-advised, though certainly a tempting one, and the subsequent
redouble made a difference of 360 points.  \n

Culbertson: West in passing Partner's 5 Diamond bid was pitifully inadequate
and should have bid 6 Diamonds. The false lead of a Queen of Spades by North
is easily read by West as surely concealing a King. Why should North suddenly
lead the Queen of Spades without rhyme or reason ? The subsequent play develops
inexorably.\n
Beasley: Tabbush and Morris stopped at 5 Diamonds, a big loss resulting on
the hand, though with a slightly different distribution of the cards 6 cannot be
made. \n

Culbertson: An atrocious psychic but it worked to the eternal shame of the
famous team of two. First step in smoking the psychic fox out. So far Lightner
knows only that Culbertson has plenty of Diamonds. He may be weak elsewhere.
East fears that an invulnerable penalty may be below the value of a game that
seemed reasonably certain. West begins to lay the ground work for a Slam.\n
His main worry is how to convey the impression of the overwhelming strength
of his hand. East abstains from bidding 5 No Trumps directly. After all West's
response of 3 Spades may have been forced by the 3 Club bid. A very strong bid
indicating decisively desire for a Slam and at the same time placing the Ace
of Diamonds. East failed to grasp the full import of this inference. East
should have bid 6 Spades. West should have bid 7 Spades even though East bid only
5 Spades.\n
Beasley: Lightner opened with 1 Club and Doraville made the first "psychic"
bid of the match which appeared to have far reaching results. Culbertson
doubled the 1 Diamond (an unimaginative effort) and Lightner then bid 3 Clubs as the
double would not be lucrative enough to leave in. Culbertson then bid 3
Spades. to which Lightner responded with 4 No Trumps, and from that moment they had
missed the big slam,\n
since on their own convention if in that situation the player has three Aces
and a King of a suit bid he must go 5 No Trumps. On 4 NT Culbertson bid 5
Diamonds (this was a definite encouragement as well as placing the Ace of Diamonds
for his partner) but Lightner, who was evidently still in doubt of the
strength of his partner's hand, merely bid 5 Spades and when Culbertson the bidding
6 Spades the bidding unexpectedly died.  \n

{

Culbertson: The hand reads slightly better than 6 honour tricks but the
distribution is wide open. If a 2 Spade bid is made and Partner holds an absolute
blank the hand may be set 3 tricks vulnerable. On the other hand, Partner may
have something like 4 Spades to a Knave and a Singleton. A game will be missed
by not bidding 2 Spades.\n
Under the circumstances Domville cannot be critisised for bidding 2 No
Trumps, and North should have raised his contract to 3 No Trumps, with his 2 Knaves
and a Queen. I personally prefer to start with a 2 Spade bid for, in addition
to better chances for a game, there is a possibility of a Slam even though
Partner previously passed.\n
Beasley: This was a big hand all massed in South's cards and Domville quite
rightly sensed that it was worth an extra trick to have his hand bid up to, so
he bid the No Trumps himself rather than "force" his partner. He tossed up in
his mind between 2 and 3 No Trumps but decided on only 2 No Trumps and I
hardly felt justified in bidding on 1 Queen and 2 Knaves. However, 4 No Trumps were
made, largely due to the opening Heart lead.  \n

Culbertson: Beasley should overcall with 1 Heart. South should double.
Beasley and Domville should have doubled. North and South lost a cold game. The
former because too conservative, the latter because too cute, in his attempt to
lay a silent trap. \n
Beasly: l did not interpose with a Heart bid on the 1 Club by Culbertson ;
and although Domville had a big hand he could do nothing on the strength shown
either side of him, since his strength mainly lay in their suits. He therefore
wisely refrained from bidding, though it is interesting to note that North and
South can make 3 No Trumps on the hand, though how to bid it is a dificult
matter.\n

{

Culbertson: Lightner should have passed 5 Hearts. Culbertson, warned him
previously by bidding 2 No Trumps, and East has at least 2 losers out of 3 for
which he cannot account.\n
Beasley: Lightner bid on only 4 quick tricks, but a magnificent amount of
playing tricks, to wit 10. After the negative 2 No Trumps from Culbertson he
showed the solidity of his suit by the 1 NT rebid of which Culbertson's book makes
such a feature, and Culbertson, thinking he must show he had a little more
than the nothing his partner was entitled to expect, kept it going at 5 Hearts.\n
Lightner should never have rebid again, although if he finds his partner with
2 Kings, he can probably get it. However, only one was there, and although
North and South had some nasty discards to make, my final discard of the Queen
of Clubs tempted to hope that he had miscounted the Clubs and he fell into the
trap and let me make the last 2 tricks, thus himself goint to with the King of
Diamonds. \n

Beasley: This was an evenly divided hand and interesting in so far as that
East and West appear to have a game hand on the face of it but cannot even make
3 Spades. After my bold interposing bid of 1 Club Lightner only bid Spade
where many would have preferred to bid 2, but in the subsequent play he rather
fell from grace as he should have made at least 8 tricks. \n

Culbertson: A dangerous vulnerable 4 Heart bid and a suicidal re-double end
in an outburst of lucky breaks.\n
Beasley: The Americans missed a game, though it was undoubtedly a rather
dangerous game to bid. After Culbertson's 2 Diamond, Lightner should have gone 2
No Trumps as being slightly more encouraging than a preference bid in Hearts,
but anyhow, after 3 Hearts from West he should have chansed the fourth. \n

Culbertson: A dangerous vulnerable 4H bid and a suicidal re-double ending in
outburst of lucky breaks.\n
Beasley: A startling developments as a result of which Gottlieb must be still
kicking himself. Tabbush let the bidding die at 1 Heart. Whereupon Gottlieb
thought the balance of cards must be with his partner and made a rather
ill-judged reopening of the bidding. Morris's subsequent bidding was typically bold,
and eminently successful. \n

Beasley: The bidding went on orthodox lines though Gottlieb stretched himself
a little in calling 6 No Trump over the 3 No Trump bid of his partner; but
presumably he inferred her forcing bid must contain a big honour in Diamonds,
since she had no suit to rebid after his 2 No Trump bid. \n
