The Play
If North were to open the queen of spades, the top of his partner's suit, game could not be stopped. West, the declarer, would win the first spade with the ace and then lead a diamond. South would get in with the see of diamonds and win his king of spades, but the declarer would then have the spades stopped a second time with the jack. Declarer would there- fore make four club tricks, three diamond tricks and two spade tricks, or nine in all.

If North held only three spudes to queen, the proper opening would be the queen.
