DO Learn to respond accurately to partner’s takeout doubles. I see this all the time when one inexperienced player makes a and another responds. One consistent outcome is that responder rarely overbids. What I see is a minimum response in the best or longest suit regardless of the strength of the hand. I’m sure some of the reticence comes from partner’s habit of making takeout doubles with inappropriate hands – i.e., minimum strength with shortness in an unbid suit. No responder is going to jump in a suit if experience has shown that his partner may put down a dummy with a doubleton (or worse) as trump support. “ I hope that my previous writing about off- shape takeout doubles has reached some of you. ” I will assume so in describing proper responses.

The history of the prestigious contest stretches back to 1928 when the man who invented , Harold S. Vanderbilt, put the trophy bearing his name into play. The winners list is a who’s who of bridge, a parade of the titans of the game. As part of the ACBL’s ongoing archiving project, photos of some of the winners are included with this history.

The The Vanderbilt Trophy for the Vanderbilt Knockout Teams was donated in 1928 by Harold S. Vanderbilt, who won the event in 1932 and 1940. The Vanderbilt was contested annually in New York – as a separate championship – until 1958 when it became part of the Spring North American Championships. Vanderbilt winners receive replicas of the trophy – a practice initiated by Vanderbilt from the first running of the event and perpetuated by a $100,000 trust fund administered by ACBL under the terms of Vanderbilt’s will. On display at ACBL Headquarters in Horn Lake MS are the Vanderbilt Trophy, as well as replicas donated by the families of Caroline Taylor, who won the Vanderbilt in 1928, and Helen Sobel Smith, a Vanderbilt winner in 1944 and 1945.
