PPE LS OMMITTEE An Appeals Committee recent! con idered an appeal from E.B.U. Laws and Ethics Committee relating to a hand in a multi-team event in ich the decl rer played the band in a contract of 3 T doubled a a mi re and conceded a penalty of 1700 (9 down) when the defenders could not po ib h eta en an more than the first five tricks if the d clarer bad not di rded h · bigh rd winners.

The p chic b.d 1 a perfectly le itimate plo which add a p1ce of excitement for the adventurou I minded, which on occasion can create an element of urprise with dramatic effect. " urprise " is the effective word. All too often the victim i not t' tied that the " urpri •· is as eneral a the Laws require. Perhap a few definitions and illustration can help to iJJuminate me gre area . Law 40, under the heading Partner h ip Understandings, states : "A player rna make any call or play (including an intentionally misleading call uch as a 'p chic bid ', or a call or ploy that departs from commonly accepted or previou ly announced conventional practice) without prior announcement, provided that it i not based on a partner hip understanding." At fir t glance the Law would appear to permit too much latitude. A partner· ship agreement, dul tout on the convention card, may provide for a no-trump 12-14 in all po ition In practice the player may find it expedient to be minimum (or even sub-m lnimum) at favourable vulnerability, maximum at adverse vulnerability. Given that partner ha the minimum values for a border J:ne rai to two no-trump on the basi of a 12-14 no-trump, it would not be unnatural if hi deci ion were influenced by the vulnerability condition. And what of the opponent who mu t decide whether to compete 7 He urely should know whether at one moment 12-14 i likely to mean 11 or 12 and at another 13 or 14. The Law provide for thi situation in the Proprieties under IV : " Partnership Agreements" which, after reiterating Law 40, goes on to say" it is not improper for a player to violate an announced partnership agreement so long his partner i unaware of the violation (but h bitual violation within a partnership rna create implicit agreements, which mu t be di closed)." And there is the rub : what are habitual violation 7 On whom is the burden of proof 7 Because the American Contract Bridge League is so much Jaraer than our own national body, the problem is proportionately larger for them than for u . Don Oakie, a past Pre ident of the A C.B.L and an international pia er sought to explain the League's po ition in an article from which tbe followin extract h been circulated to E.B.U. tournament directors. P ychic bid are not soon forgotten b_ the user's partner. Since such a bid doe gro ly mi ·state either the strength or pattern of the band, or both, the re ult obtained tend to be memorable where the partner i concerned. In this re pect the p ychic bid ha the same effect a does an e traordinaril_ ood gue by partner, either a declarer or defender, a particular! spectacular line of play or defence, or a sensationall ucce ful, unilateral e b partner. But where the gue es, lines of play, and sa e are remembered a special case • the psychic calls tend to becomt identifi d with the bidding tuatlon in which the were used. When partner ha p ched on e, for man · to come every tim a imilar ituation ari , hi p rtner will remember and wonder. • The partn r who remembers and wonders is pt to te t t.be water before be tak the plunge of an irreversibl action predicated upon his partner's call. A pia er wbo thus display caution may not be de med to be limply prudent. Hi caution terns from prior know! dge and e p ri nee with this partner and thu constitutes prima facie evidenc that n imphcit partn rship undentaDdina elti t • This caut on n er quit a pronounced it 1 in the de I that immediate! follow the one wher p rtn r p ched.

B contra t, in a recent international match one pair, playmg a Do-trump dvertised as 12-14, opened one no-trump eleven tim . On seven occasions the no-trump was of 10 or 11 point , on three occa ions 12, and on one 13- de pite th' frequent variation no advantage wa apparent. What bo ever would have been the inclination of p rtner with a balanced 11 points, a borderline rai to two no-trumps over 12-14 no-trump 7 And w re the opponents expected to comp te again t the advertised 12-14 or the effecti e 10-12 7 Brid e i a mental exercise. The real plea ure is in matchin your sJtills a in t a worthy opponent, under fair condition . That is why partnership agr ements or understandings, explicit or implicit, should be known to both ides. And that is why psychic bids hould not have an element of impliCJt understanding, either a con iou one, or the unconscious one which is a con quence of an h bitual practice.

The meaning of the bid is considered in the an er to (c) below. The po ible answers : (a) Double. If the double could be construed as " neptive ••, it would be the ideal call, but by all the textbook definitions it would be for penalties. Can ou be reasonably sure of beating 2S 1 Surely not. True, ou ha e some high card , but the test to apply in such ituations is : Does my hand contain an unpleasant surprise for the declarer 1 Ea t know he is under the gun, he know he doesn't hold the four high cards that you hold, and be has still bid freely. Your trump holding is unpromising becau e it means that if Ea holds. , K Q J 9 x x he will be losing only one trick (unle West is oid). You mu give East credit for holding ix or ven pla ing tricks in his own band. At IMPs the double is too close. Points - 2. (b) 2 T. The obvious objection to thi call is that a no-trump contract would be pla ed from the wron band. Game in no trump might be po 'ble if orth held + Q x or J x x, but only if ortb were the d clarer. It i not like) that you will be able to run nine trick after a pade le d, but ou might be able to run eight, so the call is not unreasonabl . Points - 3. (c) 3D. There re two wa s in which 3D might be construed. Does it i ify the sort of hand that South holds her iamonds not ood enough for aq immediate overcall, no positive upport for heart , but game chan 1 r do it ignify a hand with a void or in leton heart, but diam nd stron t11at the can be introduced at this lev 17 Her I thin on m be uided by frequency. It ems to me that the first pe is much commoner th the second. On that ba i D i the bid in the pr t ampl . P rtn r encour ed to bid no trump if he h a mi- uard in p d or to bid in hearts if he h s a stron uit, nd he ma , of cour • pa diamonds. Point - S. 14

There are those who would tot up their 10 points. lldd them to partner's opening bid, and conclude that opponents could not make a nine-tric contract. But if you look closely, you will that a double is dan erou . No doubt West has a ingleton or void diamond and at least lix club , so your diamond honours will go to waste.

INTER-RECIO AL PAIR CHAMPIO HIP AL lf71 The first Rothmans Inter-RegJonal Pairs ~ampionship proved. to be aa unqualified u with i of the seven English heat o er- ubscrtbed. As a conJequence the scope of the comin ear' toUf!lament ha be n e !ended.

Amsbury and Sowter failed narrowly to. r~ch the final of the 9pen Pa.ln- 42nd at the end of the semi-final round wtth JUst forty places available fo~ the final. The hand they offer from the. Lo!ldon final of the .Rothmans Re110!W Pairs Championship shows that imagmatton must be ctated With attention to detail.

A jump take-out of a Precision Club (16 or more high card points) show a six card suit and DOt more than five points. East could calculate that his partner's diamond lead was from a doubleton which meant that declarer had ten red card ix hearts and four diamonds. If he bad two p des and one club the defence could talte one trick in a black suit. If he had two club and one spade it was tia1 to develop the club trick before declarer could set up a spade trick. At trick 2 one defender switched to a low club. The second defender al calculated that declarer had onl.r three black c:arda and that the defence should try to develop a club trick before the ace of spade~ waa knocked out. But he went one stage further. The jump to T o ltearta showed at most five high card points. Declarer waa alre dy marked with tiM queen of diamonds, therefore he hould not have the ace of h rts and he milbt well ha e the que n of club . At trick 2 he switched to e ten of hearts.

The defence began with two rounds of clubs. Declarer ruffed the second . nd played the king of diamonds for W t' ace. West won and played a third ... tub. Declarer ruffed and made a good shot with a low heart towards the jac V t won with the queen- the nine would have been equally revealing-and made what seemed to be the safest exit of the ten of diamonds. Declarer won with the queen and ca bed two top trumps before pi yin a diamond to the jack. If East ruffed be would either have to play a ay from the heart king or give declarer a ruff-and-discard. When East discarded, declarer took a winning heart fine and till h d a trump in dununy for her l t diamond. Ea t could over-ruff but that would be the fourth and 1ut tri for the defence. Mrs. Oldroyd and Mrs. Sowter finished in a highly creditable seventh place in the final. In the early stages of the qualifying rounds their place in the final wa far from ured but they went from trength to strength as the tournament continued and the experience will surely have made a stronger pair of them. Mrs. Marku and icola Gardener looked lilte po ible winnen when they wer third after the five qualifying ions. There wa no cany-over to th tin ; they began with a first ion which was poor by their standards and never recovered. Inner : K.
