club, which West trumped. Now West led a heart. East won with the Ace and played another club, but at this point, since East was out of trumps, Mrs. Richards

won the trick and spread her hand."`"If East had had the forethought to cash her Ace of hearts. before leading the second club, then she would have been able to ruff a heart, thereby beating the hand one trick.

ANSWER: Bid five hearts. This bid shows that you are interested in a Slam, but at the same time denies any outside Ace.

Score 100% for five hearts, 50% for pass, 30% for five clubs (indicates the club Ace), 20% for six hearts (an overbid).
