CONTRACT

BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

The hands shown in this series for days past have been selected from the national championship tournament of the American Brid- ge Lengue held recently, Ench hand has illustrated a clever play by one of the country's leading experts and one might gain the impression that the tournament Was an unbroken succession of brilliancles.

While the standard of play was probably higher than at any con- tract tournament ever held,

even

the finest players err at times, and when they do it is apt to prove very costly.

Today's hand was played by four of the strongest players in

hut the tournament,

The Play.

South was obviously at a bad contract for he could barely make three no trump against good defence. However, if we place ourselves in West's post- tlon, we cannot much blame him for reasoning the hand out as he did. His king of diamonds up- peared to be a sure trick behind the diamond bidder and he was anxious to establish another trick in hearts immediately to make certain of defeating the contract.

Accordingly he led the king of hearts. North played low and East, having no hearts, Was obliged to make a discard. He obviously could not afford to dis- card a spade and did not wish to weaken his diamond holding, for declarer had bid that suit. Consequently his only safe dis card appeared to be a small club. Declaror won the trick with the

24, and due to East's club dis- card was able to run off five club trick immediately. He then con- ceded West the queen of hearts and took in the remaining tricks.

His cleverly used paychic dia mond bid had deceived both opponents so completely that he was able to make six no trump doubled, on a hand which should have been defeated three tricks.
