A POOR. DISCARD
While six hearts happens to be declarer cashed the two spades in
diamond practically a laydown, South's only dummy and a successful play for six notrump was a combina-finesse allowed him to make the last tion of a favourable break in dia- | three tricks in that suit. monds and a mistake by East.
East's diamond discard was quite bad. True, if Declarer held three spades to the ten and three diamonds, throwing a spade would cost the hand. But the actual distribution was much more likely.

ANSWER: Bid four diamonds (forcing bid.). Your fine six-card suit
South was so ashamed of his two-is well worth rebidding. notrump bid that he was afraid to raise his partner from three to four hearts, and we cannot. blame North for bidding the Slam in notrump.
South won the opening club lead in his own hand and cashed four - heart tricks, East and West discarding noth- ing but clubs. The Queen of diamonds was now played from dummy. West - won. with the Ace and played a second club. -Declarer won in dum→ my and led a third club. Now East made
Score 100% for four diamonds, 70% for four hearts (does not show your full strength) 40% for four clubs (suit too weak).
