The Bidding.
The contract bidding was South
one club, West passed, North one spade. This is the One over One, and requires partner to keep the bidding open. East passed and South bld two no trump, trying to show pariner an exceptionally strong hand which had better possibilities for game at no trump than at spades. North jumped the bid to four for a slum. South, having more than he originally advertised, bid six no trump.
The Play
West opened his fourth beat diz- mond-the six spot, dùmmy cover ed with the nine which forced the jack from the East hand, South winning with the king. Declarer returned the four of diamonds, finessing the 10 spot, which held the trick. The club auit is then started by lending the six from dummy, declarer winning with the
ace.
A small club is returned and West discards the five of hearts, dummy winning the trick with the quoen of clubs. The seven of clubs is returned from dummy and when Erst plays the nine, declarer covers with the 10, West discard- ing the seven of diamonds.
Now the king of clubs is led by declarer forcing West to discard the nine of hearts. A heart is discarded from dummy. East follows with the jack of clubs. The declarer plays a small spade, winning in the dummy with the ace and leads the deuce of spades from dummy. East follows with the jack, declarer winning with the queen.
This gives the declarer a very good count of the West hand. Enst is undoubtedly out of spades. West is known to hold two more diamonds and two spades. This leaves him with one heart. De- clarer then applies the squeczc by leading the five of clubs, West discards the jack of hearts, duimmy the queen of hearts and East the four. Now the squeeze card-the ace of hearts. If West discards a diamond, declarer will discard a spade from dummy. while B spude is discarded by West, the diamond will be discarded from dummy.
By carefully playing his cards and applying the squeeze play, the declarer has made seven no trump although he only bid six no trump. As nelther side were vulnerable, he scares 500 for the small slam bid and made 210 for six no trump bid and mude 50 for the extra trick.
