Neither, side were vulnerable. South, West and North passed and Enst opened fourth hand with one apade. South passed and West East overcalled with two hearts. then jumped the contract to three No Trump.

The play.

North did not have much to do with the bidding. His partner in the South opened with the queen of spades which East won with the ace. East then led a small club. winuing in dummy with the queen. His next play was the queen of diamonds from dummy, and when North refused to cover, East drop- ped the jnek. Declarer then led the 10 of diamonds from dummy. North played the seven and de- clarer played the eight. The four of diamonds was led from dummy, North played the king and East, the declarer, won the trick with the are.

The declarer's fext play was the six of hearts, the 10 being finessed from durmy. It looked quite natural for North to win the trick with the inck, but here is where he pulled off his false card nluy-he won the trick with the king and then returned the four of spades which East won with the king. The decinrer led the ace of clubs, South's Jack falling, on the trick and a small heart was discarded from dummy. He then led the deuce of hearts, and due to the false-carding by winning the trick with the king, the de- elarer thought that South held the jack and now finessed the nine of hearts whigh North won with the jack and feturned the seven of clubs. Declarer finessed the nine! spot and then cashed his king of clubs, but he was now forced to lose the last two snado tricks.'

The declarer should not have been deceived by the faire-carding because if South had held four hearts to the jack and only four spades he would have undoubtedly avened the hearts rather than the four-card spade suit as the spades had been bid, by East. Knowing that South does not hold four hearts, the declarer could get a marant count on the hand and should go up with the queen of hearts knowing that they will break. In this manner he would have made a small slam.
