NickRW Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 The Forcing Principle The Forcing Principle is used to produce a Game, and where partner, though possessing game requirements, fails through timidity to disclose them. Forcing situations occur when: 1. Partner has great Honour strength and refuses to open.2. You possess extra length on a freak.3. Partner has a perfect bust and holds no stoppers. Dont's 1. Never hold up the game.2. Never leave your partner with an unguarded Major.3. Never employ the Forcing Principle with a young partner without first considering the results to be obtained by careful manipulation of the hand.

NickRW Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Conventions The game can sometimes be got underway without ceremony by mentioning a diamond. The one over one is one of the oldest conventions and still holds good. Partner can signal for a Take Out by making a Squeeze Play (Making a single non jump so a not to ruff Partner's Jack).

NickRW Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 The Rule of Eight A yardstick for determining holdings. Assuming Partner has a bare Queen, make an opening in Partner's suit. If an opponent raises, as he probably will, the length of his holding will be revealed. Obviously your chance of making game with 4 to 4 1/2 HT against an opponent with 8 to 8 1/2 are nil except perhaps with a dummy setup.

NickRW Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Leads Where Partner leads her Queen up to your Jack it is strong lead. Where Partner holds the Queen in hand after your Jack is exposed it is a weak lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickRW Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Take Out A regulation take out may be made to prolong the game or to permit Partner to pass. An immediate take out is essential if Partner is vulnerable. A forced take out is the result of being caught in a minor. A jump take out is advised when there is a danger of losing the rubber.

NickRW Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Re-Entries Re-entry may be made immediately after a take out if you have a raise and sufficient strength. Re-entry may be made through your hand provided you know where the Queen lies. Re-entry through Partner's hand is usually the best expedient, particularly for the novice, but in no case can entry be guaranteed after the 3rd round.
