Today's South picked up his hand 'and couldn': } cl'-ve his eyes. Here was a drean: "ani: one he had THE NEWS waited for in some ten years of playing contract bridge. But the problem was io find out if partner had either or both of the top two honors in spades. The North-South pair were not experts but were up in their game. On their convention card they had listed the Grand Slam Force convention and this provided the ideal opportunity to use it. When a suit has been es- tablished and the forcing bidder's only doubt is that trump suit, he bids a conventional five no trump. Responder indicates his holding of the top three honors in trumps by bidding six if he has none or one and by bidding seven if he holds two. In our example, North has both the ace and the king of the established spade suit and his response is seven spades. While the hand makes seven no trump against any non-club lead, South's five no trump bid is purely con- ventional and demands a specific response from partner. In a recent match point game almost all pairs called for aces after North's initial raise but this is futile as South cannot determine which ace and king North holds.
