He reasoned that his partner would have doubled one spade for a takeout if his hearts had been long as well as strong. Since East had actually bid one no-trump, his subsequent double of four hearts was surely basea on general strength rather than trump strength. In that case, the soundest defence was to get dummy's trumps out in order to reduce
the hand to no-trump. Hence West opened the deuce of hearts.
This was a magnißcent bein- ning for the defence. If West had led a club, dummy would cash the top” spades. win and Then the singeton diamond would be fed from dummy, No www matter what East might do. South would make his contract; and it would take a careful do- fence to prevent declarer from making an overtrick,
The trump opening gave the defenders a chance. East took the first trick with the ace of hearts and returned the jack of hearts. South won with the king of hearts and noted with misgivings the fact that now dummy had only one trump.
