Ave spade tricks, one heart and two dubs," Unbelievable ns it appears. the contract was down one.
If this hand occurred in a motel- point duplicate mme, declarer would have a rent problem. On the sur- face, five-oddd in spades seems reu- sonably sure and it would probably be fatal to "play safe" for four-odd. At rubber bridge, however, and Specially in
a contract of only
30 three-add, a safety, play is clearly Indieated. It is unlikely that five trumps lie in one hand, but it in
North's two heart bid was decided- ly skimpy, but aside from that the bidding was logical.
West led the king and see of dia- mends and continued with the jack, East discarding a club. Declarer, noting with pleasure the solidity of both his black suits, ruffed the third diamond and started to draw trumps. The second lead produced the alarming news that East had started with five trumps, but there was nothing declarer could do about that, now. Ile switched to
to clubs, attempting to cash as many as pos- sible, East, however, broke into this procedure by rufing the third round. He then led a low heart, Declarer found himself in dummy with the ICO,
and could not exit without using
no means impossible, and since de- clarer can easily, nid at slight cost, provide against that brenk, he most certainly should do 50.
The crux is to refuse to ruft the third diamond; to discard a winning elu on the trick! This may look foolish but it is the epitome of com- mon sense. Now declarer's trump holding cannot be shortened. Dum- my's frumps will protect him against further diamond leads, and if West shifts to a heart, the ace wing and declarer can make five leads of trumps, if necessary.
A declarer should-consider himself lucky when such cheap and simple Insurance is available to him!
