To Nate Spingold, bridge Is purely a pastime. He enjoys the Kame and is always on the alert for that clusive slam contract. Here's a hand showing his, ng- gressive type of bidding and it also demonstrates how well he can play the cards.
Mr. Spingold's diamond bid is purely constructive, and with the diamond bid North was justified in jumping to three spades. When South showed a five-card club suit, North's natural response was six clubs.
The Play
West's opening lead was the queen of diamonds which Mr. Spingold in the South won with the king. A small heart was led and ruffed in dummy with the deuce of clubs. A small club w returned on which South played the king and West showed out.
