bid four spades. North and South were vulnerable, therefore they could not consider taking a ancrifice.
· The Play
South opened the king of clubs and continued with the queen of clubs, which East' trumped. De- claror took two rounds of trump which picked up the outstanding trump, and then led four rounds of diamonds, winning the fourth diamond in his own hand. ·
The bidding had practically markod, South with the aco of hearts, therefore the declarer's on- ly chance to make his contract was to find South with only the ace and
ono heart or to induce him to make
a mistake. East, the declarer,
