CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney.
The following is another of the Interesting hands from the recent All-Ameriean championship tour Hument in Cleveland. The hand was played in one of the auction events.
▸
A11 unusual distribution of cards makes it possible to execute the play known as the Vienna coup. Until the start of contract, this play was very rare. due to the fact that it was too difficult to recognize. Since contract, we find more Vienna coup hands be- cause the bidding helps to locate missing cards,

At auction, South started the bidding with one diamond and at most tables one diamond was the inal contract
AL contract, South would bid one diamond. East would
pass South would now be justifieit in bidding either three no trump or three spades. In either case North would go back to diamonds and South would carry the contract to six diamonds.
The Play.
played,
When the hand was West opened his fourth best spade, which East won with the ace. East returned મા trump, which the declarer won with the
ace.
Declarer look three rounds of diamonds to pick up West's trump. East echoed in clubs, dropping the seven and the four. This practically marked the king of clubs for the declarer.
Deelarer's
next play was to cash his king of spades, and here is where declarer must be careful --he
must not discard a heart from dummy, but should discard a club.
Be then led the jack of spades and when West covered with the queen, it was trumped in dummy with the six of diamonds. And here is where the declarer must make the play known as the Vienna coup. He must lead his ace of clubs from dummy, de- liberately establishing East's klag Now a small heart should be returned from dummy and won by the declarer with the ace. The good spatie is cashed and a club discarded from dummy. The two good diamonds are played-West discards two clubs, dummy a club and a heart.
Dummy is down to the king and seven of hearts. East drops one heart, but on the last diamond he ia squeezed. If he drops his king of clubs, the declarer's queen will be good, while if he plays the jack of hearts, the declarer will lead the ten of hearts, win it in dummy with the king, thereby catching East's queen, and the seven of hearts will win the last trick.
You will notice that if West had held any heart higher than the seven spot, the play could not have been made.
