The Bidding.
The above hand was played in 2 anetion tournament. South opened with one club, West over- enlled with one diamond, North passed. East' bid one heart, South went to two clubs which closed the bidding.
A contract, South would open with one club, West's hand is a little to weak to overcall with one diamond and he should pass. North would bid one No Trump. East would bid two hearts and (South would go to three clubs.
The Play.
The play of the hand at auction. ¡was as follows: West opened the pine of hearts, the top of his part- Cher's suit. Déclarer refused to take the finesse, winning in dum- my with the ace and then leading the len of clubs. East covered with the king and the declarer won the tefek with the ace. then led the queen of clubs, pick-) ing up the outstanding trump.
His next play was the jack of spades. West relaxed to cover. įdummy played the seven and here is where East made his big mis- take he won the trick with the Jace of spades. He should have stayed off until the second, round uf spades..
East led the ten of diamonds, the top of the suit bid by his part- ner. Declurer won the trick with the ace and then played three straight clubs. West discarded the deure and nine of diamonds and the four of hearts, dùmmy fol lowed with the seven of clubs and discarded the queen and five of hearts. East discarded hearts and A spade. Declarer then led the fourth club. West was forced to discard the queen of diamonds as he must protect the queen of spades. Dummy dis- carded the four of diamonds and East the five of diamonds. De- elarer then led the eight of spades. West played the four and dummy the nine.
Declarer knew by now that West held the king of diamonds and the queen and one #pade, therefore he led the jack of dia- monds from dummy, throwing West in the load and West was forced to lead a spade through the dummy's tenade. The declaror made the last two spade tricks, thereby making five odd at chubs.
