The West player in to-day's hand could have saved a great many points if he had employed this convention, allowing the bidding to reach the second round before he entered it. S
Declarer now led a small dia- mond to dummy's jack and South won with the king, returning a small club. Declarer played low and North won with the ten spot. He threw the lead back with a diamond and the declarer could not avoid the loss of two more club tricks. His contract was de- feated three tricks for a penalty of 900 points...
