The Play
..
IF
West's best opening lead is the king of spades, in order to show the queen. However, it is not wise to open with the king when holding only the queen backed
with either the jack or the ten.
We find South with a Bath coup situation, that is, the opening lead as a king and he holds the ace, jack and a small card.
If he plays the small spade and can coax West to continue with spades, you can see that he will now make two spade tricks, there fore the first trick should not bel won, but the deuce should be play. ed by South..
West can read that partner'a Beven is the lowest spade that he holds, therefore he is not asking his partner to continue withi spades. West. does not wish to lead away from his king of clubs| and can see no harm in playing the diamond, therefore he leads the queen of diamonds.
Declarer wins this trick with the king and takes two rounds of hearts, which picks up the out- standing trump...
His next play is a small dia- mond, and if West carelessly plays

The declarer has lost a diamond and a spade and can lose only one more trick in order to make hist contract. You can see that West, if helpleas.
He holds nothing but spades and clubs. If he leads a small club, the declarer will win with the queen in dummy and will then lose only the jack of spades. If West leads the spade, the Bath
