by

Bridge News:

Here is a hand from the June 9 game of the Los Alamos Duplicate Bridge Club that offers both sides an opportunity to bid to a makable part score.

When the HCP are divided rather equally, it behooves both sides to bid to what they feel is the maximum contract they can make.

This is board #7. South is the dealer and both sides are vulnerable.

♣ AJ3
West East
♠ 8 ♠ A62
♥ K4 ♥ 865
♦ AT3 ♦ QJ8762
♣ KQT754 ♣ 8
South
♠ J953
♥ AQ72
♦ K54
♣ 96
