The Bidding.

The contract bidding was South one diamond, West one spade, North three clubs. East passed and South went to three No Trump, North bid four clubs as the three No Trump may simply be a mini- mum response to his forcing bid. but when South goes to four No Trump to slow the.spade suit well stopped, North passes.

The Play. West's opening lead is the queen of spades. Would you discard a small heart from dummy? If 60, you will be unable to make your contract. The proper plan is to discard the ace of diamonds from dummy so that you will not be blocked in the dummy Inter on. The declarer wins the trick with the ace of spades and immediately returns the king of spades, now discarding the king of diamonds from dammy.

The declarer then starts with his queen of diamonds and runs of six straight diamond tricks, West discarding everything but the jack and ten of spades and the nce, ten and sine of hearts. East holds the eight of spades, the queen of hearts and the queen,, ten and

seven of clubs.

Declarer now plays the deuce of clubs, winning the trick in the dummy with the ace, and then

cashes his king of clubs. The

oppasition win the last three tricks, but by discarding his ace and queen so as to unblock the dia- mend suit the declarer has made bis contract of four No Trump.
