South opened the bidding with one diamond. North made a fore- ing over-call of three clubs-this bid of threo clubs requires the bidding to be kept open until 4 game is arrived at. South re- aponded with three diamonds, South bid five diamonds and at most tables North went to six dia- monds while at one table North jumped the bid to seven diamonds.
The Play.
The hand is unusually interest- ing in the play. If West opens a club, declarer will immediately proceed to establish the fifth club in dummy en which to discard a | losing spade, but with a diamond opening a triple squeeze is nce- essary in order to make seven odd.
