Generally the landing of an ace la Just the play that will make it enay for the declarer,
I belleve, however, that the poorest lead ngalitat duch a con tract is the opening of trump. By doing so, you practically let the declarer call for his lend.
In other words, you surrender, any advantago you might have of developing a trick for your side because it is certain that, against a trump load, the declarer win the first, trick and then can start establishing his own suit.

king is poor. Therefore, in to- day's hand we find there is no lend left other than the ace of hearts, and even this play will not
defent the small slam contract.
However, if you do not open the ace of hearts, the declarer can put it to sleep with the fol lowing play.
Naturally, when your partner makes a first hand spade bid, and 'you hold the North hand, you ex- pect to play the hand for a slam. The bid of three clubs over two hearts is highly constructive. The bid of four diamonds over three spades is another construc- tive bid.

You even have some hopes of trying for a grand slam with this holding, but when South simply re-bids spades, then North should bid five spades. This practically The Steamship. asks South if he holds a 'double- ton heart. Without the doubleton heart, South can go to six spades. If West opens the ace of hearts, that is the only trick the oppo- nents can win. But if he opens a diamond, the declarer will let it ride to the queen, and then make a grand slam.
With a club opening, the de- clarer wins with the ace, take two rounds of trump, leads an other club, wins with the king, und on the queen of clubs discarda diamond. A small club is trumped and the declarer now runs off five rounds of spades, re- taining in his own hand the king of hearts and the queen of dia monds. In the dummy he retains the ace and eight, of diamonds.
Today's Contract Problem
East has doubled' South's bid of four spades. Can you find the play which will por- mit declarer to make five-oda?
