Ave spade tricks, one heart and two dubs," Unbelievable ns it appears. the contract was down one.

If this hand occurred in a motel- point duplicate mme, declarer would have a rent problem. On the sur- face, five-oddd in spades seems reu- sonably sure and it would probably be fatal to "play safe" for four-odd. At rubber bridge, however, and Specially in

North's two heart bid was decided- ly skimpy, but aside from that the bidding was logical.

West led the king and see of dia- mends and continued with the jack, East discarding a club. Declarer, noting with pleasure the solidity of both his black suits, ruffed the third diamond and started to draw trumps.

The crux is to refuse to ruft the third diamond; to discard a winning elu on the trick! This may look foolish but it is the epitome of com- mon sense. Now declarer's trump holding cannot be shortened. Dum- my's frumps will protect him against further diamond leads, and if West shifts to a heart, the ace wing and declarer can make five leads of trumps, if necessary.

A declarer should-consider himself lucky when such cheap and simple Insurance is available to him!
