CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

Underloading an ago 011 tho defence le generally, a dangerous practiee. However, there are times when it is the correct play. But don't underlead an ace unless you have some sound reason to back up your play,

The following hand, played in the national championship tour ney at Asbury Park, N. J., gives a good example of the proper time

underload an acc..

to

The Bidding

South had opened the contract- ing with one club. West passed and North bid one spade. East passed and South went to three spades-a rather optimistic bid, forcing his partner to four spades. I believe the sound bid is two spades by South, and then if North goes to thiee apades, South should go to four,·

The Play

If Enst makes the spectacular opening of the king and one dia- mand, the contract is immediately defeated if West returns a dia- mond giving East a ruff. How- ever, the majority of playera with the East helling opened the deuce of hearts, the ten was played from dummy, West played the jack and North won the trick with the acé.

He immediately led the six of clubs, winning in dummy with the ace and then playing the king of clubs, on which he discarded the eight of hearts.

His next play was the king of spades, which West immediately won with the ace. Here is how

West holds the king of hearts the high hearts. The declarer took only one discard on the clubs, therefore it looks us though he has no other heart. That leaves declarer with nothing but apades and diamonds.

If the declarer originally held alx spades and four diamonds, then Enst holds only, two diamonds. If these two diamonds are the king and one," there is a chance to defeat the contract,

If West plays the ace of dia- monds and then leads a small dia- mond, Enst will-he-blocked · ́in with king. West should under- lead his ace, of diamonds. Now East will win with the king and will return the six of diamonda. Weat will win with the ace, lead another diamond and East will get in a ruff, which is the trick

that sets the contract,
