TRAPPING PARTNER

a consistent reader of your "Winning Contract' and as a beginner I have found your articles both in- teresting and helpful," writes Fred J. Jessup of Englewood, New Jersey. "Recently the following hand turned up here at home, and when it was all over, South was so stunned he was unable even to talk about the hand. North said he could do nothing but bid his hearts. When South bid six notrump, I had an itch to double, but from the bidding decided they undoubtedly had the hearts solid; also the other three Aces, so I passed. Here is the hand, bidding and what happened:

We would first like to comment on South's taking only his six top tricks, Evidently he plays no than he bids. Dum my's-heart suit being Hopeless, South should have at least established his own dia- mond suit. By giving up two diamond tricks, he could have won three tricks
