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! }|pg||nt||pg||

Not vulnerable I prefer to double, It is both more informative and more concealing.|pg||nt|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.|pg||nt|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.

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.|pg||nt|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.|pg||nt|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.}|pg||nt||pg||

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.|pg||nt|A beautiful negative inference which Gottlieb, who is usually so brilliant, failed to make.|pg||nt|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.  }|pg||nt||pg||

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.|pg||nt|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. |pg||nt|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 |pg||nt|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.  }|pg||nt||pg||

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.|pg||nt|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.|pg||nt|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,|pg||nt|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.  }|pg||nt||pg||

sa|0|mb|p|mb|2N|mb|p|mb|p|mb|p|nt|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.|pg||nt|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.|pg||nt|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.  }|pg||nt||pg||

Culbertson, warned him previously by bidding 2 No Trumps, and East has at least 2 losers out of 3 for which he cannot account.|pg||nt|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.|pg||nt|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. }|pg||nt||pg||
