The Bidding.

·រា

The hand was played in a du plicate contract match. South, the dealer, holds two five-card uits and the required two and one-half quick ricka. When holding two biddable five-card suits the high- er ranking suit is bid first, there- fore. South bid one spade. West passed and North bid two hearts. East passed and South went, three clubs. North then bil three no trump which bought the con- tract.

The Play.

10

East has the opening lead. Some players holding 10. nine, eight will lead the 10 spot-the top of the three-card sequence-while others prefer the lead of a 10 spot to show a higher honour, such as queen, 10, nine. The East player in this ease played the six of clubs, his fourth best club, dummy played small and North, the declarer, won the trick with the king.

The only way for the declarer to go game now is to find the ace of spades in the East hand. Therefore, the three of spades is led by the declarer and when East plays the four, declarer goes right up with the king in dummy which holds the trick, and returns a small spade hoping for a split in the spades. East won the trick with the ace and returned the 10 of clubs which the.damny won with the ace. declarer dis- carding the four of hearts. The two good spades are cashed in dummy, declarer discarding the six and seven of hearts, East dis earding the nine of, hearts and dence of clubs.

The ace of diamonds is played from dummy. East is forced to discard the four of clubs. De clarer now has more good tricks than is necessary. The three clubs are good in dummy and he also holds the good ace of hearts and the king of diamonds.

By establishing his side suit, the declarer has made five no trump.
