OP THE FOUS-ACE” SYSTEM
In to-day's hand we record an astounding mental lapse by one of our leading players. Having reached the nice contract of four spades, he de- elded to show his partner to make six, overlooking the fact that by playing in that manner he ac tually could be beaten at four.

North's second-round" Jump to three spades was a slight overbid, but he did not like to bid merely two spades. South's four-club bid was in the nature of a Slam try, and North of course promptly signed off at four spades. The four of hearts was opened, and as he put down the dummy, North remarked, "Well, if we missed a Slam, it certainly is not my fault. I bid everything I had and then some."
with the Ace in dummy, led the Ace of diamonds, discarded a club and followed with the Queen of diamonds, discarding a second club. West won with the King, promptly led the King of clubs and continued with the ten. Now when East. played a third club, there was nothing Declarer could do. If he ruffed with the King of spades, he would establish a trump trick for West; if he ruffed low, West would over-ruff.
There was nothing South could do except apologise to his partner..

South won the opening lead in his own hand with the ten, and of course had ten tricks in top tards namely, six spades, three hearts and a dia- mond Hormoner, in the event that East held four diamonds to
the King, he saw a chance for a Slam and de- cided to have some fun. Therefore Declarer played a low spade, won (Inc.):
