table with Italy seated North and South A word of explanation is required to explain the Italian methods The opening bid of one no trump designates a balanced hand containing 17-20 high card points South's four club response is an artificial call showing precisely 14 points four no trump rebid is a sign-off announcing a minimum no trump It seems to us that the failure to reach a slam must be ascribed to the responder His initial call was not wcftl calculated Since partner is marked with a minimum of 17 high card points and South has 16 points lus two good suits prospects 'or slam are very
