An even more exciting part of Bridge bidding is finding and bidding slams.<\/p>\n<p>Entire books have been written on the subject.  We can\u2019t hope to cover all the facets of slam bidding in this short column, but we\u2019ll go over some of the basics.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>Accurate bidding between the two partners is essential.  You are looking for a combined total of approximately 33 points.  That will give you enough points to have a good chance of making a slam.<\/p>\n<p>So, if your partner opens with a strong Two-Club bid, you know that you may be in slam territory.  If your partner opens One Heart, and after your One Spade response, he rebids Three Clubs, he is showing 18 or 19 points.  You may be exploring for slam again. The search for a slam can begin early in the bidding if your partnership\u2019s combined assets look promising.  The first objective is to find what suit you would want to play in.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have settled on the suit, let\u2019s say at Three Hearts, and with a distributional hand, start making cuebids to show first-round controls in a suit (Ace or void).  A cuebid is a forcing bid in a suit in which the bidder does not wish to play.  You must notify your opposition.  (Encyclopedia of Bridge, 7<sup>th<\/sup> Edition, p.203)  The Captain might make a Three-Spade cuebid to show the Ace of Spades or a void in the Spade suit i.e. first-round control.  If the Captain does not have the Spade control, the Captain will go up the line and perhaps skip to a Four-Club cuebid for first-round control in that suit.  If one partner does not have first-round control in Spades then perhaps the other partner does.  The next cuebid might be Four Diamonds to show a first-round control in that suit.  When a partner has no more controls to show, the partner makes the cheapest game bid of Four or Five Hearts.<\/p>\n<p>The Captain may settle for game or the Captain may bid a slam directly.  Sometimes, the Captain will start bidding second-round controls (protected King or singleton) to achieve the objective.  It is possible to bid and make a slam if the team is missing an ace but maybe not two Kings.  Cuebidding helps you to find out the nature of your combined assets.<\/p>\n<p>If the contract is in a suit and cuebids are not available, the Blackwood convention of Four No-Trump will be used.  But more about Blackwood on another occasion.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck!<\/p>\n<p>If you wish to promote an activity in your bridge group or ask a bridge question, send the information to vrhead23@gmail.com and I will try to include it in this column.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CANADIAN FEDERATION OF UNIVERSITY WOMEN (CFUW) MUSKOKA \u201cBRIDGE FOR BURSARIES\u201d FUNDRAISER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The fall lunch and games party, Friday, Nov 2, 2018 at the Gravenhurst Senior\u2019s Centre welcomed 96 participants.
