bill coats slam hands play a very important part in rubber bridge this is where the great swing hinds occur a thousand points can be won or lost on the bid or pliy in the slam ronr ll is said that the italians arc the world champions of contract bridge because of their ability to get into borderline slams that are nukeable and staying out of those that dont make this is not as true at duplicate budge at duplicate you can mike just as many match points at a one club contract as you can in a grand slam in fact i just saw at a tournament in toronto a score where a pair who bid 6 diamonds and made an overtick received no match points a bottom board in duplicate for bidding and making a slim bveryone else was tn no trump or 7 no trump for a better score since slams are more important to the rubber bridge player special attention should be given to them by any serious bridge player even though they don t occur too frequently they can account for most of the points won or lost this week i would like to discuss a special type of bid that can be used by any regular partnership this is a bid to check on whether a grand slam is possible when a small slam is assured it could have been used list week at the acton bridge club where this hand occurred eastwest were vulnerable and east dealt north sk0 7 llkh da96 54 cak suggctlrd hijdina ast south wist pais put pau pan piiu all pau i ii pau

points required for a jump shift alter south supports diamonds north tries blackwood and discovers that bis side has all the aces a smjll slam in diamonds is jssurcd but what about a grand slam norths bid of six clubs is called a grand slam horce after checking for aces any bid jl the six level is an unhid suit below the agreed suit is a grand slam force its request is simple partner if you hold two of the top three honors in the agreed trump suit bid seven since south had both the king am queen of diamonds he obeyed and bid seven north went to seven no trump since he could count thirteen top tricks you dont use the grand slam force too often but when its needed its worth a lot of points on the score card last weeks winners at the acton bridge club were first tom barber and duke wdson
