North ar.d a v,;:h had a part
score of 40. -o tliat i-Diamonds
constituted a «ne bid. North's
4-Diamonds eras therefore a mild
slam try. South accepted the in
vitation by using the Blackwood
aventi i.-. .! when his partner s
•sponse shew.-d two aces, he was
a«-luv f. •• >lam. His thusi
| asm foil when ho saw the dummy,
| upon West's load of the heirt K.
There wore apparently two losers
to be disposed of in tint suit, and
no way to dispose of them.
A bit of study showed South a
method. After taking: the first
trick with dummy's heart A. he
led the spade Q. covered by the K
and A. settled the trumps with
two rounds, and realized that East
was almost surely out of red
cards, since West figured t ■ have
a five-card heart suit. If this was
i so he could make his contract, by
j stripping his two hands of black
: cards.
So he played to the club A,
rtuTed the spade 3. ruffed the club
J in dummy, then led the spade 4.
discarding the heart 5. East. of
; course, had to win the spade, and
! it was his lead. With only black
| cards, of which South had none.
J (>•> returned a club. Declarer threw
■ hi<* last heart on ir ind trumped in
the dummy, so that ho had no
more losers and made his contract.
