ANSWER: Pass. While you have a good hand, any bid by you is fraught with danger as it is quite likely that most of the high cards (and hearts) will be banked at your left.

Score 100% for pass, 50% for dou- ble (takeout), 20% for four hearts (a terrific gamble.)

QUESTION NO. 195 You are Oswald Jacoby's partner and hold:

eleven sure tricks. Furthermore, a spade lead up to his Ace- Queen would automa- tically provide the twelfth trick, so that South can hardly be blamed for being un- able to resist the tempting Slam.

West opened the King of diamonds, and although his partner signalled with the nine, he paused to consider, the unusual bid- ding. West knew that South, a fine player, would be depending upon his partner's hand only to the extent of the club suit. This being the case, it would be hardly likely that. South would contract for a Slam with two losing diamonds. Going a stop further East would certainly not have signal- led in diamonds if he were blank in clubs. Therefore a shift to clubs could avail him nothing. Could East hold / Inc.)
