IT might seem odd that I should select as a lesson hand a Elx- *pads contrnet which can be defeated two tricks if the right opening lead is made. However, there are two good lessons here.
I have talked
to you often about relecting the right opci- Ing lead, and have said that in a. large percentage of hands, analysis and elimination will make the correct lead quite nbylour. The natural opentur in this hand is the king of hearts, cannot be correct. that
1st West holds seven hearts, and his partner has bid as if he held four, certainly not less
than three. Therefore, it will can be expected that North or South is void.
best opening? Is a club the Let un analyse that. West's partner han doubled six sparies, and he has doubled on high cards which are more apt to be In diamonds than in clubs Wesl'n fourth club may be valuable to protect that suit.
If Wert held three diamonds to the queen, maybe the dub lead, should be selected, but with only two diamonds, West's open- ing should be the diamond Bucen, East and West will take the first three tricks mul set the contract.
Now we will look at the hand fram declarer's standpoint. Sup- pose that West does open the king of hearts. Declarer trumps, and now his only chance to make the contract is to get rid of two dia- monds on the club sult. If he cashes the ace of clubs and leads the ten, and West hna lie queen. West will cover. Then declarer will get only one discard, not enough to make the contract.
South's only hope, therefore, is that East has the queen of clubs. He must play a small spade to dummy's ace and return 'n club. If East plays low, South fnesses the ten. If that holds the trick, be then plays the ace of clubs, a small spade to followed by a dummy's nine-spot, which will pick up the outstanding trump. Now he can discard two of his diamonds on the two good clubs, thereby losing only one diamond trick and making his contract.
