At this point East could still set the contract by simply playing a club. In- stead he made his final mistake and led a heart, whereupon Declarer cash- ed his Ace-King of hearts and the. thirteenth spade to fulfill his contract for a top score.

ANSWER: Your correct bid is two spades (a force). Even though your with the Jack and re- partner has shown four or more hearts, turned the five of dias it might be better to play the hand in monds, South ducking | Spades.

South now played the Ace and an- other spade, West discarding first the seven (hla lowest club) and next the four of hearts. East won the trick and promptly led the three of clubs-a play which was wrong for two rea sons. First, his partner's first duvard
