EDITORIAL

We are now in the season 1974/ 75 which is to be hi~lighted by the taging of the European Champion hips at Brighton, m the fortnight beginning July 12th, 1975. The hampion hip Committee i now within sight of its target of £25,000. Acknowledgements for contributions have been periodically acknowledged, but not perhaps to the most substantial contributor our membership at large.

M t of the money has been rai d as the re ult of pecially organised tournaments. Their success has been measured by the considerable numbers in which you, the members, have upported them. We hope that con iderable numbers of you may be able to continu your upport by lending your encouraging pre ence to our team in Brighton.

For a period of about thr month from now th or ni in c m­ mitt e will hold ace mmodati n at two moderat ly priced hotel for th period of the Champion hips. We think the term will be better than individual member would be able to ecure for th m lv . If th d mand i uffici nt th hotel would be e clu iv ly occupi d by peopl with an intere t in the hampion hip and we thin th t would make for th increa enj ym nt of all of th m.

"The extensi e use of psYch by a l?artnershiP. to be deprecated.

To explain the reasoning behind tbi firm res temcnt of a practice which was already meant, it is a principle of " fair play " in bridge that the meanin of a bid should be the same both to partner and to o ponent . If a con en 'on card states that a o opening ho 12-14 points, without further elaboration, and if the partnership bas a tacit understanding to be in the lower ran e or below at favourable vulnerability and in the upper range at unfavour· able vulnerability, they enjoy an adv ntage they are not meant to enjoy. H a pair should decide to be adventurou at favourable vulnerability to the exten of opening withont an opening bid, and pecially in front f partner, they e joy an unfair advantage unl partner treat that opening bid a trictly ortbodoL On any sing]e occasion that a player or partnership may be qu tioned about such a bid one ma have to accept the xplanation that partner w misled no less than opponent.
