MR. GOREN'S CHRISTMAS QUIZ
December 19, 1966
By now you have considered the new safety features in the 1967
cars, but how about adding some safety features to your 1967 cards?
Though I am a firm believer in aggressive bridge, lately I have
noticed a trend toward too much boldness, so here is a safety
lecture. The problems generally call for the most careful approach,
but that is not always the lowest possible bid. If you score 34 or
less, increase your insurance; 35 to 49 and you are safe in most
games; 50 or more and your opponents should check their own coverage
against losses.
