"The world," sald Joo's part- ner, "lost a great mathematician when you look up bridge. But that's ribthing to what bridge lost. Don't you realise that the hand was an absolute certainty -If you only played it right?"

West added his own moderate strongth to the strength shown by his partner's vulnerable over- call and came to the conclusion that North's strong bidding was based partly on ruffing power. He therefore opened the ace of hearts and continued with a second round of trumps.

After winning the second trick with a trump, Joe should have led a spade. If West play- ed low, dummy's jack should be played to duck the trick into the East hand.
