The bidding of this hand was un- usual, to say the least. In fact, when South bid seven diamonds, North al- most fell off his chair! After all, South's first HIGH CARE VALLES rebid had shown a FOUR-ACEF BYSTO miromum, and while North's second bid had of course been a Slam

less allowed South to quit at five diamonds if he wished. Hence, the most North ex- pected was for South to go to six, However, the five-diamond bid really intrigued South, who said to himself, "If my partner holds six spades to the King and four diamonds to the Ace-King, the Grand Slam should be almost a laydown." Hence, ho bid his hand. sta

When dummy went down, South wished he had been less greedy. North's King-Queen-Jack of clubs and void of hearts meant nothing to him. However, he decided to try for bla contract anyway. Winning the open- ́ing heart lead with the King, he lod a low diamond and West had to play

Declarer now his singleton King. drew the one remaining trump and led the Queen of spades. With four to the 7 King, East played low and Declarer finessed, thereby succeeding in fulfill-' ing his contract.

A kibitzer wanted to know why Declarer selected the play he had ins- i tead of the simple one of trying to drop the singleton King of spades. South's answer was, "In the event

that East held three spades to the King and his partner Jack and one, there was a good chance that East: would make a mistake and fail to cover."
