THE PSYCHIC ALMOST WORKED

The Four Aces lead-directing double of a three-notrump contract calls for the first suit bid by dummy, but at the same time the man on lead is allowed to use his own judgment, which Oswald Jacoby did with good results in one of the early matches of the Team-of-Four championship at Asbury Park, N.J.

diamond or the spade bid has been a fake. I have the King-Jack of dia- monds; therefore my partner cannot be very strong in that suit and is obviously doubling for a spade lead.”

Hence Mr. Jacoby led the seven of spades and the hand was defeated one trick, whereas a lead of any other suit would have given Declarer his contract.

ANSWER: Your correct lead is |your fourth-best diamond (the six) Declarer undoubtedly has a very long club suit and you want to attack im- mediately in the suit most likely to develop tricks for you.

"The bidding is quite interesting: 70% for the deuce, nine or eight of Score 100% for six of diamonds, Schenken's failure to overcall with his solid suit was due to the fact diamonds (the fourth-best lead is that he knew it was standard; why confuse your partner?); likely North would 50% for six of spades, 0 for any other

You and your partner (Merwin lead. However, North Maler) are vulnerable; the opponents fooled him, and in- are not. You hold:

stead made a fancy, bid of one spade. South then bid no- trump, and when North jumped to three, Mr. Schenken promptly doubled, hoping his partner would read that he wanted a spade lead not a diamond.
