the East bid three hearts. South bid three spades, West passed and North went to four spades. Mr. Watson doubled and South quickly
redoubled.
The Play
The declarer gat favourable opening from West-the eight of clubs. Mr. Watson won the trick with the jack und returned a small spade hoping to stop some
heart rafts.
Declarer won the trick with the ace and then saw that the only way he could make his contract club sait. was to establish the Therefore he returned the seven ofį clubs which Mr. Watson won with -the-queen-Mr. Watson decided to
return another spade.
However he had to be enreful which spade was led, because if he had played the three, the declarer would allow it to ride to dummy's right. He would lead another club, trump in his own hand, pick up the outstanding trump and go over to the dummy with the ace of dis-) monds, discarding his losing din- mond and a losing heart on the two good clubs. In this manner he would make his contract.
By returning the nine of spades Mr. Watson shut out this possibil ity. The declarer was forced to win the trick and must now lose two hearts and a diamond-and so we find the while the return of small spade would allow the declarer to make his contract doubled and redoubled, the return of the nine of spades defeated this eostract two tricks.
