Here is a hand that I believe you will enjoy spreading out on the table and working out As you might a double dummy problem.
AGENCIES AND BRANCHES, The hand was played by Carl ALOR STAG ILOILO BAIGON
VALLISTUAR Iron Ehninger of Cleveland.
BANGKOK Ehningor's bidding was slightly BATAVIL different from that given below, DAY ns, he was using the Beland Club GALOUSA System. Therefore, he opened the contracting with one club.
This bid of one club in artificial;
it may be made with or without WAIPHONG clubs. But it shows that Chainger KAMBURG has 8 quick tricks.

Chainger followed through his plan of attack, which defeated the contract,
Ehninger decided that the best chance to defeat the contract was to try to find his partner with the queen of diamonds, so he de- liberately gave up the king of diamonds and led it. He hoped thereby to create an entry in his partner's hand, with the queen of diamonds.
On the king North played the five. If you were the East player would you win this trick with the ace? If you do, you will be giving up the hand, because South will win the first tramp trick with the ace and lead a small diamond, North will win with the queen and return the 13th heart, which will allow Ehninger. to make his ten of spades.
The interesting part of this hand comes when East refuses to win the king of diamonds trick. Suppose South continues with A small diamond and the ten Is played from dammy. North will have to be careful not to cover with the queen, as East will win the trick with the ace and lead the king of trump,
If South wins the trick, with the ace and leads another diamond, declarer will discard his losing club, While, if South loads an- other spade, the nine spot will hold in dummy and the losing club will still be discarded on the jack of diamonds.
Of course, South could defeat the contract by waiting until the second lead of spades before win-
