The intervening bid of 2 Diamonds by Lightner relieves Beasley of the responsibility of making a response. Domville exposes the Diamond bid and forces Beasley into the right suit for the two hands, but they stop short of six and make a game. The combined hands merit a Slam bid in Hearts-only the 4-0 distribution of Hearts can stop Slam being made. 
|pg||nt|Beasley: Domville's hand is the perfect example of a strong two bid and although he appears to have nearly every trick in the pack we could do no more than just bid an easy game in Hearts.}|pg||nt||pg||

However, on receiving a minimum response from his partner, he now forces with 2 Spades. The 3 Diamond bid does not affect the issue. Mr. Gottlieb employs the 4-5 No Trump convention in an unusual position, i.e, before game has been contracted for, but it is necessary. |pg||nt|Mrs. Culbertson "signs off" with the lowest ranking suit yet bid, but Gottlieb now shows his four Aces by his 5 No Trump bid. N.B. The 4 No Trump bid shows two Aces and a King, and when followed by a 5 No Trump bid, it shows the other two Aces. Mrs. Culbertson again " signs off " with a 6 Club bid, but Gottlieb correctly bids the little Slam in Hearts. The contract is defeated by a bad break in the heart suit. |pg||nt|Beasley: Gottlieb made an almost incredible opening bid of 1 Club. There are thousands of situations where his partner might have something like two Knaves and still game is an absolute certainty. He said afterwards that if his partner had a bust he did not want to play the hand in a game contract of 3 No Trumps, |pg||nt|which looked the most likely possibility in that event. Nevertheless, having got a positive response of 1 Hearts the bidding was absolutely bound to end in a slam.  }|pg||nt||pg||

Probably three No Trumps is the easiest contract to get on the hand.}|pg||nt||pg||

Perhaps the greatest value of the 4-5 No Trump bid lies not so much in its positive as inits negative inferences. The 6 Diamond bid by Lightner is a beautiful example of profound and precise reasoning.
|pg||nt|Lightner knew that I had at least three Spades because of my 2 No Trump bid and failure to bid 3 No Trumps after he showed Diamonds. He also knew that I probably had four Diamonds because, not content with passing his 3 Diamond bid, I re-opened the bidding with four Diamonds, thereby indicating a desire for a Slam.|pg||nt|More important still, Lightner knew that, although I had two Aces, I did not have either the King of Diamonds or the King of Spades, otherwise I would have bid 4 No Trumps. Therefore, having bid 5 Diamonds as a slam try, I would probably have passed. Hence the 6 Diamond bid, which Lightner considered mathematical justified. He needed only a successful finesse either against the King of Diamonds or the King of Spades.|pg||nt|It is Bridge chefs-d'ceuvre like these that make me sometimes say that the same divine spark of intelligence goes into the playing of the beautiful Slam, as in the creation of a Gothic cathedral. A small Slam was laydown in our room while in the other room our English opponents contented themselves with a prosaic 5 Diamond bid. 
|pg||nt|Alas! There are also many moments of stupidity in Bridge, and the following hand illustrates how champions can butcher a beautiful hand in bidding and in play. 
|pg||nt|Beasley: This was a very interesting hand. Personally I prefer Diamond on Lightner's hand rather than a Spade. When Culbertson bid two No Trumps and then 3 Spades Lightner was able to get a very fair picture of his hand and when subsequently took it out of 3 No Trumps into 4 Diamonds he is marked with some short suit or other and two aces at least. The 6 bid therefore included a lot of first-class accurate inferences. }|pg||nt||pg||

|pg||nt|Beasley: Tabbush showed the most lamentable lack of imagination. Having opened with a Diamond and got a 3 response his obvious bid is 3 Spades, when Morris could go 4 NO Trumps which would indicate some support in Spades as a hand of considerable trick value.    6 would then have been an easy bid. }|pg||nt||pg||

A forcing re-bid which shows a hand of a strength just below an original 2 Bid. Showing a 6 card suit. Is another forcing bid and shows (a) sufficient playing trick values to warrant the expectation of a Slam and practically to. guarantee the contract of 5 odd in case Partner signs off. |pg||nt|(b) 2 Aces and a King of any suit provided either Partner had bid it or 3 Aces. Had East held 2 Aces he should have responded with 5 No Trumps. Therefore West draws an inference that East could not hold more than 1 Ace. This inference automatically stops any attempt at a Grand Slam Bid. West therefore contracts for 6 Hearts which he makes.|pg||nt|Beasley: This was an interesting hand with our pair in the other room rather influenced by the score against us in taking a gamble. Culbertson brought out bis now famous 4 No Trumps bid, and from that moment knew there was an Act against him. |pg||nt|An interesting feature is Lightner's 5 Spades bid, which is a slight encouragement, since he could have discouraged with 5 Clubs even though he had a singleton, as the sign-off arrangement is that they bid five of the lowest ranking suit yet bid by them. }|pg||nt||pg||

thus enabling partner to get the exact count on suit distributions. As far as a gamble goes it is a fair one, considering that East had opened the bidding. Nevertheless the gamble would have been quite unnecessary if the 4-5 No Trump Convention had been used. |pg||nt| The contract of Grand Slam is defeated by 1 Trick and the Swing on this Hand alone is 1,530 points. No wonder Mr.Tabbush publicly announced his intention of using the 4-5 No Trump Convention in the future. |pg||nt|Beasley: Nobody can severely criticise Tabbush's opening bid of 1 Hearts, but Morris's response was technically very wrong He quite fails to convey to his partner any accurate picture }|pg||nt||pg||

Luck might have swayed the situation either way, the 4 Spades attempt of the English in the other room being more likely to succeed in the long run. }|pg||nt||pg||

I produce one of those awful plays that made me famous in the history of Bridge. I had 13 possible leads to make, and I selected the worst, the seven of Clubs. Had I led the King of Clubs and then followed with a low Spade, my dear friend Domville, who stepped out on a limb, would have to walk back home.|pg||nt|As it is, we could have set the contract by 100 points had not Teddy Lightner, for some mysterious reason of his own, proceeded to play a high-low Spade, to show a Queen which he did not have. Towards the end of the hand I naturally discarded the King of Spades, where upon Sir Guy made his Queen of Spades, and four No Trumps. |pg||nt|Beasley: This hand was an absolute comedy of errors. I made a jump bid in Diamonds but over my partner's 2 No Trumps, which was rather a dubious call with a singleton of my suit although he had two guards in theirs. I think I should have stalled him of No Trumps by repeating Diamonds. When I was doubled in 3 No Trumps I ran from my original ideas, but Domville with the bit between his teeth went back to 4 No Trumps. 
|pg||nt|Had Culbertson led the King of Clubs and then, when he saw my lone Ace of Spades, played a small Spa carded bis King which allowed Domville to get one of the most varrious contracts of the match. I tremble to thine how much we would have been down. After that Lightner for some incredible reason petered in Spades and Culbertson discarded his King which allowed Domville to get one of the most curious contracts of the match.

Mike Gottlieb decided to pass, and opponents made one Club doubled. This comedy of errors only confirms my sneaking suspicion that all the so-called great players are really great simply because the average Bridge player is so terrible.

He rightly assumed that his partner could not possibly take it seriously or of course he would have been able to bid a Spade over Culbertson's double of 1 Diamond. He apparently did not like lifting his partner in Hearts or: only King and One, which often does lead to double; in this instance that would have been the most successful bid.

He most unnecessarily dropped the Knave of Clubs on the first trick, since South's lead indicated a most obvious singleton.

Colonel Beasley thought that Lightner's original Heart bid had been a psychic and that Domville's 2 Heart bid was a genuine suit. A sad error, especially as Domville's bid was not good, even had trumps gone differently. The only consolation being that in the other room a lay-down little Slam was bid and made, reducing the swing on the hand to 770 points. 
|pg||nt|Beasley: This hand resulted in one of the most comical disasters of the match, and both Domville and myself had several frenzied telephone inquiries next morning from Shanghai and Timbuctoo. When I heard Domville's 2 Hearts bid-mark you he had already passed-I had to guess one of two things; either Lightner had opened on a short Heart suit and Domville had something like Seven to the Queen, Knave, Ten and the Ace of Diamonds, |pg||nt|or else he had no Hearts and did not want me to be put off bidding a game in Clubs if Culbertson's bid was a semi-psychic. The answer is that I should not have taken my guess then and there but should have made another bid to find out, when, if he had Seven Hearts, he could have rebid to three without much damage.  
|pg||nt|His point of view had its merits but was rather confusing e time for anybody to realise properly. I think he could achived, more by bidding 2 No Trumps.}|pg||nt||pg||

The Grand Slam cannot be bid, and can easily be defeated by a bad fall of the cards. |pg||nt|Beasley: This was bid in a very pretty manner by Culbertson and Lightner. Culbertson's 3 Spades bid on the third round was the key to the situation, and though I tried to interfere with them by bidding 4 Spades it had no effect. After the invitational 4 No Trumps, a new suit was introduced which was once again an encouragement to slam. In order to get the grand, Culbertson has to guess too much and they rightly stopped at six although they actually got seven.  }|pg||nt||pg||

There is no danger of the bidding being dropped, as West's "3 Spades" would be an" inferential force."  |pg||nt|Beasley: This is another case of an evenly distributed hand being bid in different ways. Lightner bid a Heart, but Tabbush preferred a No Trump, and when Morris bid Spades, Tabbush had no fear in bidding a game. Culbertson was on safe ground with his Spade bid, but when Lightner jumped to 2 No Trumps he had the problem of deciding on how the game should be called. |pg||nt|He had two useless doubleton suits, but I cannot exclude him from blame. He took two chances with his 3 No Trump bid. Three Hearts was his best bid and if that shifts the responsibility to Lightner, he, after all, has done the big bidding and he must then say 4 Spades. The contract cannot be beaten.

There was never any possibility of Domville leaving the contract there, for he had jumped and I had no extra values. |pg||nt|I knew he would show his strength, and when he bid Diamonds I knew a game call was safe and South had additional strength to make the final decision.

|pg||nt|Beasley: The point about this hand is that in the open room South made a demand of 2 Spades, but in the closed room, the original bid was 1 Spades. Without a trick in North's hand game is almost certain for South, and even if there is the slightest doubt about a demand bid I think there should be a pre-emptive bid. Take the King of Diamonds away from North and how can he respond? |pg||nt|But North did respond, holding two Kings, and then, of course, they go on to a slam in Spades. But this, I contend, was rank bad bidding and the Americans were very lucky to benefit. This happened during the period when we were fighting back on Saturday and it shows, I think, that we were not always blessed with good luck and that often the Americans got away with "bridge murder." There were many cases such as this when bad bidding reaped an astonishing reward.                                                                      }|pg||nt||pg||

Showing more than 2 honour tricks.The original Heart bid has localized some of the missing high cards that there is little risk of duplication of values. An alternative bid wo have been 4 Clubs the bidding must still be kept open and Beasley get some more precise information. Beasley: Culbertson and Lightner bid up on orthodox lines to 6 Clubs though under the circumstances Lightner's sixth Club was something of a gamble.

|pg||nt|Beasley: The bidding was absolutely amazing, and how Morris and Tabbush groped their way to 6 Clubs is incredible. How Tabbush could possibly refrain from opening unless he dropped his King of Clubs on the floor and only found it later passes comprehension. This was immediately followed by the most atrocious bid from Morris. |pg||nt|One of the first axioms about a 2 No Trump bid that more people would do well to observe is that it should  contain no singleton. Added to this there should be
considerably more strength in the high cards than Morris possesses. After that episode comes a still more amazing effort Ire Tabbush, who makes what is tantamount to a denial bid. The question arises if he bids 3 Clubs on this, what does he bid Seven to the Queen Ten and no other trick?
