The Bidding.
301
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 Rounder bid is two clubs, South would then bid two spades. North might be justified in overcalling with two No Trump, but South would then take the contract to four spades.
The Play.
is i
West has the opening lead, two four-card suits are very weak. When holding acc-kine and one or more small cards the proper open- ing is the king. The lead of an ace would deny holding the king therefore the West player decided to try a tricky play and led the ace of diamonds and then con tinued with a small diamond. The déclaror should naturally figure East as holding the king of dia- monds and ordinarily would not go up with the queen.
The declarer plays a small diamonu from dummy and East plays the juck which holds the trick. He then returas another iamond which West wins with the king.
West then leads his hearts through the hole in dummy. 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's queen will set. If the di mond is ruffed with a small trump, West can overruff with the queen and in this manner, they have de- fested the declarer's contract two tricks.
ten of
With the normal opening of the king of diamonds, the declarer could easily make four odd at spades.
