passed. West passed. North bid two hearts, South bid three hearts and North went to four hearts.
The Play
East's opening lead was the king of clubs which North, the declarer, won with the ace. Remember the- first rule when playing a four-card sult is to establish the side suit.
The side suit in this hand is spades-but you do not establish the side suit if you are not afraid of exhausting your trumps by ruf- fing, and in this case you have only one
club in each hand. Therefore, if the opponents try to force you to ruff, you will be able to trump in one hand and discard in the other.
Therefore, instead of starting your apade suit, you should im- mediately lead your hearts.
If you lead a spade, East will win with the ace and return a apade. Then, if you lend a trump, West will win with the nice. He will return a club back to East. Another spade will be led and West will trump and your contract will be defeated.
If you start the hearts you can quickly force. West to win with his ace and then you will not get the spade ruff and will make your game,
