. The bidding: ,

VI'eat North III! 30139! INT Pass Pass 2Q(!) Pass Pass Dble. Pass Pass Pan M

East's pass to one notrump and his subsequent double of two hearts constituted an extremely effective sequence - and the result was an 1100-point defeat of the two-heart contract! The defense was every- thing it could be -- West opening a low spade, East winning and shifting to the king and low dia- mond, and over-ruffing dummy on West's fourth diamond lead.

Since South was an experienced player, he must have known the risk he was running in coming in at the two-level, but the situa- tlon, with East passing one no- trump and North-South needing only 40 points for game. was ap- parently too much for South's self- control. As South later tried to ax- plain to his disgruntled partner, "It had seemed that North would turn up with quite a few pictures."

It is perfectly true that the best bridge players sometimes "take liberties" in the bidding because of what they can logically expect to find in partner's hand, but there is a definite limit to this sort of thing, beyond which optimism must be curbed. South's hand was worth. at the most liberal estimate, only five tricks, and it was expect- ing entirely too much that (I) North would supply the three other tricks required: (b) that Boutlrs estimate of his own hand would stand up; and (c) that the op- ponsnts would seu out to a two- heart contract if they thought there was any chance of its being
