The great majority of players, when playing a hand, set out to win every trick in sight, completely neglecting the all-important mat- ter of safety. To us (except when are playing Duplicate Bridge) it is the height of folly to take even the slightest risk of losing 2 contract merely for the sake

of making one or two overtricks. Strangely enough, here is an example where South, by making a simple safety play, would have actually scored the overtrick he was so anxi- ous to make.

East split his honours, South could win, enter dummy with another dia- mond and take a second finesse). While this geop club finesse - would generally cost a trick, it completely ensured the contract, for South would be bound to win four club tricks, three diamonds, one heart and -one- spade. It would be impossible for East to ob- thin the lead and, as the cards were actuaily distributed, South would have been able to make at least one over- trick and probably more inasmuch as West would be squeezed on the long club sult.
Yesterday you and your partner (Merwin Maier) had a part score of 70. Neither side was vulnerable and you held:

West opened his fourth-best heart and South captured East's Queen with his King. South immediately banged down his Ace and King of clubs, and when they failed to drop, he had no more play for his, contract. Declarer had to concede a club'trick to East and the heart return then gave the defence four more tricks.
ANSWER: Your correct bid is to pass. Even though your partner has given a mild Slam Invitation, your hand does not warrant acceptance.
Score 100% for pass, 0 for any other bid.
