As you know, it takes tricks to mako game at no trump than at a auft, therefore It natur- ally follows that It should be more difficult to make a game nt no trump than it is at
A sull- and it is, due to the fact that you cannot establish a side suit by ruf- Ang one or more of the low cards in that suit. However, quite often no trump Is the only spot at which game can be made.
no
Many games are lost at trump due to the lack of planning on the part of the declaror. It is quite true that the natural pro- cedure when playing a hand at no trump is to start in at onco to establish your longest nult and the one that can be most quickly established. But there

South is the dealer and the proper opening bid is one trump. Remember that in the one over one system of contract bidding, an original bid of one no: trump in any position shows very fine hand--one that general- ly has every auit stopped or, at least, no suit with a singleton orj a weak doubleton.

West should pass the one trump, as he has a good ault with which to open on attack. North would respond with two diamonda, South should bid two no trump and North will carry the contract to three no trump.
The Play.
West's opening lead is the queen of spades, which the declarer wing with the ace. Before playing to the next trick, the declarer must carefully study the hand.
It looks as if the natural play is to start to set the diamond suit, but let us see what may happen if we do this. If the king of din- monds lies wrong a spade will be returned by East, and even though the declarer lays off once, hig king will be knocked out on the second round,
Now declarer will have made two spade tricks, he can make four diamond tricks and two heart tricks, but he still needs a club trick to go game. As 3000 as he leads a club, Weat will get in and run off his three good spades and the declarer will have lost three apades, a club and a diamond.
Realizing thir, the declarer should immediately knock out the. opponent's ace of cluba by start- ing the club suit.
When West wind, he will return a spade. The declarer should lay off once and should win the sec ond spate lead with his king.
Now, when he finds that the king of diamonds lies wrong, East will not have a spade to return to his partner, and by properly planning the hand, the declarer will have made his contract three no trump.
