If’ we go over this long sequence bid by bid, we will see thatISauth was actually conservative in con- tracting tor only six notrump. but that North overbid. Let's consider:

South's club bid was selected to make it as easy as possible for North to respond-mot as an art- ificial opening. North's one heart response was of course correct South's one-spade rebid was per- ln-ps too "onc-over-onc-ish" ~ he might well have jumped in n0- trump -— but that was not impor- tant at this early stage.

North's jump to three clubs was acceptable, hut when South, still temporlzing, then bid only three hearts. North went astray in bid- ding three spades. This was the crucial point in the bidding. North had based his previous three-club Jump largely,on the A-Q-J of spades since the rest of his hand was not impressive, and therefore he had ,in bridge parlance, "noth- ing left to show." '1‘he three-spade bid. following his previous bids, could not (all to give South great- er encouragement than North's hand warranted.

North should have bid only four hearts over South's three hearts. Had he done so, his side scarcely would have reached the slam con- tract that could not be made against good defense. Observe that c\ en if the heart queen could have been captured. South would still have needed some other bit. of tuck. -
