TODAY'S QUESTION You hold the same hand. Your partner has rebid to two spades after you passed the two dia- mond overcall. What do you do?;

Answer Tomorrow

West opened the queen of North's king fell to hearis. East's ace and a second heart was ruffed. South played the ace of diamonds and the bed news was out. He was going to lose a trump trick.

Nothing daunted South cashed the king of Trumps, overtook his queen of spades with dummy's king and ruffed dummy's last heart, Then he cashed the see of spades and put Eust in the lead with a frump.

Unfortunately for South. Enst had taken the trouble to count the hand. South had shown up with one heart, six diamonds and probably two spades. With more than this he surely would have played the spades in di- ferent fashion.
