"What is a forcing pass?" asks
a Pontiac, Mich., correspondent.
"I can understand a bid being
forcing, and I can understand a
pass showing weakness. But I
cannot understand a pass that la
strong enough to force the part-
ner."
The term "forcing pass" to usu-
ally applied when both aidea have
bid up to a high contract. In this
kind of situation, a player often la

in doubt whether to double for pen
alties o rto go on. Sometimes he
can afford to paaa and let hla part-
ner decide. Such a paaa to called
a forcing paaa.
Even experts sometimes misread
this type of bid. A much-discussed
case took place in the Masters In-
dividual Tournament of 1950, aa
shown in today's hand.
West felt justified in reopening
the bidding when two hearts was
passed around to him. He was
quite right, of course, since his
side could make four spades. Curi-
ously enough, however, South could
take 11 trickst St hearts.
West bid up to four spades sin-
glehanded, but then properly de-
elded to pass over five hearts. It
was quite possible that his part-
ne, had enough defensive strength
to double this bid
Actually, East hsd s nearly
worthless hand. He failed to real-
ize thst West's pass was forcing. It
was inconceivable that West could
bid as he hsd without being willing
to sacrifice al fivespades against a
vulnerable game in hearts. West’s
pass clearly said "Partner, double
five hearts if you have some de-
tensive strength. Otherwise, make a
further bid in spades or clubs.”
In short, the pass forced East to
take some action, and East was
very wrong in passing.
South easily made five hearta,
for a score of 650 points. Had East
gone on to five spades, his side
would have lost only 100 pointe.
