Mr. Lenz has bid all the hands just as he would bid in play for a championship. Others may dis- agree with Mr. Lenz, but his bidding is the first explanation of his fame as the greatest of all bridge players. His success is sufficient reason for setting up his estimates of values as a stand- ard. This is not a guessing contest, but an opportunity to compare your bidding with that of the most expert of players as well as to win a most desirable prize.
