ANSWER: Bid one spade. The suit is not a good one, but there is a faint chance that partner has good spade support. Also, this is the cheapest bid you can make —an important consideration since your hand is so weak.

Score 100% for one spade; 50% for one no-trump; 30% for two clubs.

West opened the Queen of spades, South

West could place all the high cards from the bidding and correctly assumed that South's plan was to cash the clubs and the two high hearts and then lead a spade to force a diamond lead up to the Ace-Queen. The only danger, for South, was that West might be able to blank the King of diamonds and win four instead of three tricks at the end. And West's

On the third round of clubs, therefore, West discarded the five of diamonds; and on dummy's last club West blandly dropped the Jack of diamonds. Now South looked worried. Had West blank- ed his King of diamonds? I 90, correct play was to play the diamond Ace rather than throw West in with a spade. Or wils West just pretending?

If so, the end-play would work after all.

As it happened, South guessed wrong, by playing for the King of diamonds to drop. So
