The Bidding South has a defensive type hand.HARBIN When holding this type of hand,, It requires 3% primary tricks to Vientis open the bidding; therefore, South properly passed. North does not Jun 20 have a no trump type of hand, July 2 While he has an exceptionally July 10 strong hand, he can bid nothing July 30 but one club. Of course, this is a Aug. 1third hand club bid and may signi- Aug. 31fy weakness, but, in face of that, Sept.12 when South went to two no trump, he signined that he had everything Sep,24
but an original bid.

North was justified in going to four no trump, as a jump bid showa South that his partner and a real bki and that his sult was clubs." So, with four clubs, South felt that he had good fit in clubs and jumped the contract to six.
The Play The big problem on this hand in the opening lend. If West open a club, the declarer is going to make three clubs, four diamonds, two hearts, and three spadea,

alam when the hand is stripped down by going in with the king of hearts and exiting with his jack of
hearts,
When the hand was actually played, West opened the three of hearts, which I believe to be a poor lead, because It is certainly into a tenace position of the declarer's. would prefer to hold back on the hearts and clubs. My most likely lead against a sium contract would be the singleton diamond.

However, with a heart opening, Pennybaker won the first trick with the ten and then cashed four diamond tricks, discarding a clab from dummy on the fourth dia- mond. West let go a club and two spades, so the declarer now shed three spades, discarding a club from his own hand on the third spade.
West, on the third spade, was forced to let go the nine of hearts. Therefore, Fennybaker led the sce of clubs from dummy and then played the six of clubs. East
