The Bidding.
201
At auction, South would bid one spade, and if North denied with two clubs, South would go to two two spades which would buy the Contract.
At contract bridge, South would start with one spade. While some players would prefer to bid No Trump with North's holding, the sounder bid is two clubs, South would then bid two spades. North might be justified in overeniling with two No Trump, but South would then take the contract to four spades.
The Play.
West has the opening lead. His two four-card suits are very weak. When holding ace-king and one or more small cards the proper open- ing is the king. The lend of an nce would deny holding the king therefore the West player decided to try a tricky play and led the ace of diamonda and then con- tinued with a small diamond. The deckarer should naturally figure East as holding the king of din- monds and ordinarily would not

up with the queen. The declarer plays a small diamond from dummy and East plays the He jack which holds the trick. then returns another diamond which West wins with the king.
West then leads his ten of hearts through the hole in dunimy, A small heart is played from dummy and East wins the trick with the ace and leads the nine of diamonds. If the declarer trumps with the ace or king of trump, West'a queen will set. If the dia mond is ruffed with a small trump West can overruff with the queen and in this manner, they have de- feated the declarer's contract two tricks.
With the normal opening of the king of diamonds, the declarer could casily make four odd at spades.
