CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
Mr. von Zedtwitz brought a most successful year to a close by winning the open contract championship at New York re- cently. Giving the opponents an opportunity to make an error: is one of the baron's most successful tactics.
*
He played the following inter- osting hand. His side was vulner -the opponents were not vulner- able.
Mr. von Zedtwitz eat in the South and opened the bidding with one heart. West doubled. Mr. von Zedtwitz' partner made npsychic overcall of two dia- monds. which East doubled. South and
and Went phased North bld two hearts, which East promptly doubled.

The Play

West's opening lead was the king of spades, which held the trick. West decided that to con- tinue the spades would be assist- ing the declarer, as it might aid him in establishing a long spade in dummy. Therefore he elected to lead a trump and played the jack of hearts, which Mr. von Zedtwitz won with the nce.
The declarer then led the jack of spades, which West won with the queen. East discarded a dia- mond, which gave Mr. von Zedt- witz
the the first tip-off on hand that East probably held four clubs.
West now made the mistake of leading the king of clabs. East signalled with the seven of clubs; therefore West continued with the jack of clubs, East winning the trick with the ace.
East returned the six of trump, which the declarer won in dummy with the seven of hearts.
His next play was the eight of clubs from dummy, and as he had previously marked East with four clubs, he now took the nine spot finesse, which held the trick. For the eighth trick, South cashed his queen of clubs, discarding the Jack of diamonds from dummy.
Mr. von Zedtwitz now led the king of diamonds, which play pre vented East from getting in to head a trump. Weat covered with the diamonds, which Was trumped in dummy with the five of hearts,

A small apade was returned from dummy and Esat now made the mistake of refusing to trump, discarding the nine of diamonds. West won the trick with the ten of spades and now West was help- lesa.
If he led ace of spades, Mr. von Zedtwitz would trump with hin ten of hearts and then return the four of diamonds, trumping in dum- my with the queen of hearts.
Therefore Mr. von Zedtwitz made his last three trump separate. I

ly, which gave him his contract of two spades doubled. He scored 60 each for the two tricks doubled, which was 120, and 500 for his game. As the bonus for making. A doubled contract is eliminated. his score for the hand was 620 points.
His teammates, Mr. George Reith and Mr. B. Jay Becker, played the same hand East and West. They bid five diamonds, but wore suc- cessful in making six-truly a re-. markable swing on a championship hand.
