Solution to Previous Contract Problem
It appears, when looking at all the cards in to-day's hand, that the declarer cannot make seven odd. However, the hand presents a very interesting playing problem. Personally, I do not approve of thu bidding. With South's hand I would open with a Sims three bid, which shows that the hand must be played in the sult first named and asks partner to show either the aco of trump or his highest nce.
Not having that, North must re- spond with three no trump. South then would bid four hearts. This defnitely asks for the king of hearts. North, having the king of hearts, would answer with Ave hearts.
South then would bid aix spades and North, due to the fact that his partner hnd asked for the king of hearts, and that in addition he held Ave hearts to the king-queen, might risk the contract of seven. However, he would be jeopardizing the contract, if his partner happens to have a singleton in one of the | off suits. I think the final contract
should be six spades.
The Play.
Against the seven spade contract, the queen of clubs was opened and the declarer won with the ace. He then led three rounds of trump, picking up the outstanding trump. We know that West did not hold the ace of diamonds--otherwise he would have led it against a alam contract. We also know that, if the heart suit will break, there is going to be no trouble in making the con- tract.
The wise declarer will prepare for the worst break. His only hope in to find the four hearts in the West hand and to find West with the king of diamonds. He already is marked with the jack of clubs; therefore, the declarer's next play should be a small heart of dummy's
king.
He should lead a small diamond from dummy and you can rest as-

Bured that Enst will hop in with the ace of diamonds, trying to set the contract. The declarer then will trump and run off his spades.
Now he has a perfect squeeze on The West hand. West cannot pro- tect the king of diamonds, the four hearts to the jack and the jack of clubs all at the same time. So whichever he lets go produces, the needed extra trick for the declarer.
