more than before Lets Play Bridge One bid that continues to confuse and befuddle the average bridge player is the reverse By definition a reverse bid is a sequence of two bids which are not In the usual order For example If you hold both hearts and diamonds and wish to show both suits you would normally bid the hearts first Hence If you bid diamonds first and hearts second you have reversed Important Why Is a reverse hid so Important It forces partner to go to the next higher level to support your first suit Since partner need no additional strength to show a simple preference two suits It follows that opener must be stronger than a normal opening bid The suggested limits of a reverse bid are at least 18 points and the first suit bid Is longer than the second suit bid The reverse bid is a strong bid almost as strong as a jump shift but It la not forcing Best contract Here Is a hand from the Acton Bridge Club where knowledge of the reverse bid should lead to the best contract South dealt with both sides vulnerable NORTH SK432 WEST east J jo C106543 SOUTH SAQ78 10 3 Suggested bidding NORTH WEST PASS PASS PASS ALL PASS EAST PASS PASS PASS Opening lead jack of diamonds South has sufficient strength to reverse the bidding and his hearts are larger than his spades Without one of the minor suit aces South would have to open one spade to avoid reversing North responds two clubs showing at least ten points After South reverses into spades North shows support for both suits and South can bid the slam with confidence In fact North needs only one minor suit king in order to make slam Blackwood South could have used Black wood to check on aces and There is no problem to the play of the hand Declarer wins the diamond lead draws trump and proceeds to knock out the heart ace In all declarer makes four heart tricks two diamond tricks two club tricks and four trump tricks The flaw things I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my readers the very best in 1971 May the
