CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

Your partner offer ona prvada the opponents two hearts. Now. if vnu bid Iwo anados, doesn't that carry a lot more weight than if the opponent had maand? Again, the onponent's heart bid lets you know where your probable lowers are located. It may even allow you, Inter in the bidding. to get in a cue bld, showing no losers in that auit and letting a slam,

In to inv'a hand. South is justi- fled in biciling four hearts" over Rout's Ikron heart bid, inviting the siam, because his partner's bid of two spades, over two hearts. Is highly construetien, North shows phora hi aflo, strength is 'In ble (blå of five elubs. It costs South nothing to show kiq net of dia- monds, and North having ʼn fit in diamonds, is justifled in going to six spades.

The Play

The play is rather interesting. The opening heart lead is trumned by the declarer. He takes two rounds of spades, picking up the outstanding trumps. The inck of clubs then is finessed. A diamond is returned and won with the are.

When West dropped the ten the declarer could now see the poasi ble chance of making his contract. He had located the king of clubs in West's band. It now looked ns it-West hold only two diamonds.

Today's Contract Problem

Hero' an interesting hand to bid. When South arrives contract. of six spades. and receives, - the king of hearts opening, how should ne play the hand to make hin contract? · If declarer leads a diamond from dummy, East in going up with the ton.
