By OSWALD JACOBY -
IF you ask an expert for his favourite bridge hand, he won't come up with some weird, complicated squeeze nor with the time he held an eleven-card sult. The chances are that he'll glow at the memory of the time that some expert opponent made a good play which called for an even better play to offset it.
In today's hand Sem Slayman played the South cards. When the dummy came down, he expected no trouble. He was willing to lose two hearts and a trump. There was nothing to the hand, or so it seemed.
Then East, a villain by the name of Jacoby, complicated matters by winning the first trick with the king of hearts and retuming the singleton jack of diamonds. Sud- denly the picture had changed; for this defence threatened to defeat the contract.
If Stayman proceeded to lead trumps, as originally planned, I would take the ace of trumps, and lead a low heart to West's jack. (I couldn't be sure. Wer actually had the lack of hearts, but I would take that risk, as Blayman · knew perfectly well.) Then Wert would fead a diamond, and I would ruf, thus setting the contract.
