G. KISHINAMI,
Hongkong, 11th March, 1984.
Pacific Coast championship, con- Hambers ducted by the American Bridge League, finals being held in Los Angeles. Interest in tournament bridge la increasing tremendously throughout all the far western states to such extent that Tom Stoddard, the league's Pacific Coast director, informs me that at least six or eight players will travel from the coast to Asbury Park this summer to participato the National Masters' Pair event.
The Play
In to-day's band, East is con- fronted with quite a problem on the opening lead. South has bid spades. To open a spade might give the declarer a free finesse.
The queen and small is general- ly not a good short lend. However, in this caso it would have worked out very well, but when this hand was played, East opened his fourth best diamond--the five spot.

If this la done, the contract will be defeat- ed, as the declarer has to lose twoj clubs, a diamond and a heart.
The tricky play in this hand 'is' to win the first trick with the ace of diamonds, hoping that East has led from the king and that he will mark West with the queen.
The declarer's next play should be the eight of diamonds. Now East, thinking that West has the queen, because of the play made by North, will play low and the dummy's ten spot will hold the trick, thereby giving declarer the opportunity to discard two of his losing cards on the ace and king of spades.
Instead of losing the contract,
