The bidding?

Xon Molar Barnatoes Jacuby 1♡ 14 Dbl.

Pass (1). ANSWER: Your correct bid is two diamonds. While it

is very likely your partner, has terrific spades, you cannot expect to set the opponents very much since you have no spade to lead through the Declarer. At the same time, since you have a partial score, you should be able to make, game in one of your two strong suits.

Score 100% for two diamonds; 60% for pass, 30% for two hearts.

QUESTION NO. 208

To an expert seven diamonds on this hand would be "lead-pipe cinch,"

even granting that the club suit does not break. He would win the opening lead of the spa de King with dummy's Ace and dis- card a heart from his hand. After drawing trumps he would play three rounds of clubs, which would disclose the fact that East now held the top club. Next he would and hold: play his three remaining trumps. On the last trump lead West, in order to retain the spade« «Queen, would have to dipened dowry to two hearts, where÷ upon the Jack; of spades, having served its purpose, would be discarded from dummy. And now East in turn would be squeezed; Torħin order to keep the bib Jack, he also would have to yield a heart. Dummy's Ace- King-ten of hearts would then win the last three tricks.
