TOO OSTENTATIOUS

South trumped. A trump Recently an earnest student inquir-ten and ed of us: "When you are an defence was led to dummy and the eight of and wish your partner to lead a cer- tain suit, how high a card do you have to throw to ask him to lead your suit?". Our answer was, "Throw the highest card you can afford to give, but never discard a card that might cost a 'trick." Frequently you cannot afford any high discard and must therefore infer which sult you wish led by playing low cards in the other suits. Here is a case where an emphatic signal cost a game.
