A Trucel
If a diamond is returned, it is won in dummy with the queen. A heart then. Is ruffed with the jack. East discarding a club. A club is played and won in dum my with the klak. Another heart returned, North trumplag with the king of diamonds.
Declarer then plays the ace of diamonds, leads a spade and ruffs with the seven of diamonds. He picks up the last trump, and ali the cards in the dummy are good.
Today's Contract Problem
North is playing this game al six hearts. East opens the jack of clubs, it la possible to make seven-odd against good defense. The hand also presents an interesting bid- ding problem. What would your original bid he with the South bolding?
