CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
Solution to Previous
Contract Problem.
This is another of John Barn- ish's interesting hands from the Bridge Magazine of England, taken frein an article by him en- Finesse." titled "Delaying the
In today's hand he gives us au example of that interesting squeeze -the Vienna coup-which avoids The finesse.
South has a horderline hand con- tuining two and one-half high card tricks, but as he has only a five-; card suit, he cannal bid originally. North properly bida onie dinond and when South makes a ent-over- one bid of one spade, we find North being forced to assist the spades with only three to the queen.
To bid one nu trump would be signing the hand off, and it 18 worth while giving his partner a chance.
There is no real advantage in having North heedine the declarer at no trump; therefore, In this east, he must support bis partner with only three trump.
South shows that he has a five- card suit by bidding three sprutes and North takes the contract to four.
The Play
West cashes his three top hearts. and then lends the deure of clubs. The seven is played from dumny and East plays the ten. The fact Enst that West led a club and finessed the ten, practically marks

De- East with the queen of clubs. clarer wins the trick with the king. Of course, South has no diamond finesse to take, for there is only nne play he can make properly. He should lead the ace of spades and then play a small spade, win- ning in dumny with the queen.
His hope in the hand is to find Enst not only with the queen of clubs, but also with the queen of diamonds, so the ace and king of diamonds are cashed immediately and then a apate returned, South winning with the king. Declarer then y down his two good apades, discarding two diamonds from dummy-
That was the reason the ace and the king of diamonds were played firat so that those two diamonds could be discarded. Ов the first spade, East can let go a club, but on the second spade he is helpless. If he discards the queen of din- monds, the declarer's jack in good,

-Chief Marazer. Honekens, 1st March, 1034.
while his only play is to let go the eight of clubs. In the meantime. West has let go a heart and the ten of diamonds, hoping to con- vince the declurer that he holds two clubs to the queen.
But his original play was too ob- viona, so...the declarar...rofuses to take the finesse, goes up with the nce of clubs in dummy, dropping East's queen, and the jack of clubs wing the last trick.
Today's Contract Problem
What should South's orig Inat bid ho? Now that you have counted all the quick tricks that he holds, do you atlil want to make a two-bid? Suppose South playa the hand at six no trump and West opens the queen of diamonds. can you make the contract?
