Computing Ctr. Lines: 34 Here is an interesting bidding problem that my computer program to generate bridge hands generated. You can be playing matchpoints or imps or even (gasp) rubber bridge, it doesn't matter. All that matters is that you are vulnerable. East is dealer and there is no competition in the bidding. The object of the game is to devise a reasonable and justifiable bidding sequence that gets you to a reasonable 7D slam given these two hands: North S: 6 H: AK762 D: 9632 C: J52 South S: AKT73 H: Q43 D: AKQT7 C: Good luck and may you see more difficult hands in tournaments. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Paul Markowitz "A pessimist is someone who won't call on G-d because he is certain he will get an answering machine." --My sister seismo!umcp-cs!jhunix!ins_aprm bitnet: ins_aprm at jhuvms csnet: ins_aprm@jhunix arpanet: ins_aprm%jhunix.BITNET@wiscvm.ARPA
