General Feature Car passes and a btdof one spade by East, as But Bobby Nail passed the South hand. He has had too much experience to bid two diamonds on such a doubtful hand. This left it up to West.

He "How many points do you need for an overcall at the level two?" asks a reader. The answer: About 800 points Here's what tends to happen wanted to bid two and a half spades, but the rules don't per mit fractional bids. West tried to mark time with a response of two diamonds, hoping to show the spade support later, Unfortunately for West, there was no later. East dropped him at two diamonds Maybe west should have made this lamentable contract but he actually went down one for a loss of 50 points. Even if west had made a part score, the result at the second table would have been unimportant The damage was done at the first table, where South bid two diamonds.

A vulnerable overcall at the level of two should show, a hand that will produce about six sure tricks. Never mind points.

Soublo All Pass Opening lead This hand was dealt in the recent inter-city championship between Minneapolis and Houston. At one table a Minneapolis expert thought the South hand was worth an overcall of two diamonds.

He had a reasonable number of points for this bid, but he didn't have the tricks. West doubled and led the king of hearts after nobody could think of a further bid. He switched to spades, and East shifted to clubs, giving West a club ruff. West then took two hearts and waited for his trump trick. This all came to 800 points.

4 Further Loss I- The Minneapolis team had a further loss on this hand at the other table of the match. Here the Twin Cities had the East-West cards, and Houston experts sat North-South. The bidding; becan with two tricks youll have the points, too. If you have the points without the tricks, get ready to pay out 800 points to the oppo' nenis. DAILY QUESTION Dealer, at your right, bids one club.

You hold: 4k J. 87 6. AKQ95, 4J76 4 What do you say? ANSWER: Bid one diamond. You can afford to take slight risks at the level of one. espe cially if you have a strong trump suit.
