It was inevitable that a grand slam should be reached after South, with his four and a half honour tricks, heard North make a forcing takeout which guaranteed at least three and a halt more. As soon as South beard of North's adequate tramp support: in spades, with all four Aces placed by the four-five notrump convention, South knew that the combined hands contained eight apades headed by the A. K. Q. and since the chances are appro ximately two to one that five out standing trampe will be divided three-two, there is no doubt but that the contract of seven spades was correct.
West's double is the only factor imaginable which could have allow ed the contract to be made. By no conceivable reasoning could South have failed to play the spade King as the first trump lead. But after) the double, when West opened the Four of clubs, South had only to Jook at his hand and the Dummy to see that there could be no card with, which West might hope to win a trick outside of the trump suit. With only four-trumps to the Jack West would surely fear the loss of his guarded honour through a finease; so West obviously must have had five trumps and East would be void.
After winning the club Ace on the first round, South, therefore, led a spade and, when West played low, finessed the eight.. Since East showed out the subsequent
