(See solution below) Russian Romp There is now no doubt that one of the three Russian grandmasters, Paul Keres, Ewfim Geller or Tigran Petrosian, who are far out in rWflAVEtfrJBEEArV Did you ever wish you could "kibitz" international stars at play? Match your bidding savvy and play of the hand techniques against that of the "top in the business?" Well, ACBL has published a book called World Championship Contract Bridge Team Matches which is a record of the bidding and play of over 300 hands of the matches between North America vs. Italy, England and It is a very interesting book as it describes how the experts handle the various bidding systems in use today in actual competition. The book puts you in a "kibitzing" seat where you can "hear" the bidding and "see" the play of the four hands in both the Closed Room and in the Open Room. I heartily recommend this book which could surely help most "duplicators" improve their bidding and play from the pattern exemplified by the experts. You can obtain this book by either writing to ACBL 33 W.

Is 40 miles off the coast of Venezuela, and about the size and shape of the island of Montreal.

Most of the population of 130,000 (of many different nationalities), is resident in Willemstad, the capital, or environs. Spanish adventurers discovered it in 1499, with a first settlement In 1527. The Dutch took over in 1634. (when New York was New Amsterdam), and have held it ever since, except for several short intervals when it was under British control. Each time It was returned under general European peace treaty agreements (Amiens, 1803 London, 1814 and Paris, 1815).

Like most Caribbean islands It Is volcanic in origin and the soil Is unproductive but some corn, sugar, cotton, tobacco and fruits are grown.

You are the dealer, but before you have a chance to bid or pass, your left hand opponent makes a bid (one heart, one no trump etc. etc. This is a bid out of rotation and if your opponent does not call the director himself, you should say to him (or her), 'Do you mind if I call the director for a ruling?" The offender cannot refuse and when the director arrives you tell him what has happened and he will surely tell the offender: "You have made a bid out of turn, the bidding will revert to the proper player and your partner must pass for the rest of the auction. You are naturally not barred from further bidding and may do so if the occasion presents itself. You can even change your bid, if you want to, just remember that you are the only member of your partnership who can do any bidding." RESULTS VANDERBILT.
