"Well if I had bid four Clubs," South said. "We might have gotten to six, which we couldn't make," North replied: "All right. But at clubs five- odd is cold and six is made if the club Anesse works. As long as the hand was going fo depend on
a
finesse in clubs anyway, isn't it bet ter to take a gamble on six clubs, which could be set only one trick, than three notrump, which actually goes down three?".

second spade' over to the King, West discard- ing a low diamond on the second lead. Knowing that spades would not break, South now came to the conclusion that the diamond Queen was also wrong and that, the best play for the contract lay in the club finesse. Accordingly, he played the Jack of clubs, finessed and lost
to the King.
West now looked at dummy and saw that his only hope of beating the hand lay in dropping the single- ton King of hearts. Accordingly, he laid down his-Ace of hearts, dropping the King, and van' off Biz heart tricks-

What is your opening lead
ANSWER: Your correct opening lead is a trump.
Score 100% for trump lead; 80% for Ace of diamonds, '60% for Ace *of clubs. In particular, in spite of the fact that your partner has bid must not them, the one lead you make is a heart. From the bidding lit should be apparent that Déclarer has a heart-spade two-sulter and you do not want to play hearts for him.
Question No. 228,

Both sides are vulnerable. You are Oswald Jacoby's partner and hold:
