Aucti0n Problems.

THE seven of spades having been Ted
I at no trump, how would you plan
the play of the following hand?
DUMMY.
Spades, 9, 5; hearts, ace, king, queen;
diamonds, queen, 10, 4, 3; clubs, 8, T. C, 2.
DECLARER.
Spades, A, 8, s; hearts, 8, 5, A;
diamonds, king, jack, g. 5; clubs, ace,
king, 4.
With only five spades in the offensive
hands, there are eight in the hands of
the adversaries. It is more than two to
one that these are not merely divided
four apiece. Therefore, the original
leader probably holds at least five of
them and can taKe at least four tricks
in the suit if he gets in" after declarer's
ace is out of the way. These, plus the
trick declarer must lose in diamonds,
would make enough to prevent game.
If declarer, however, can keep the orig
inal leader from getting the lead again
after the spades are established he can
make game surely, with one spade trick,
three heart tricks, three diamond tricks
and two club tricks His only chance to
keep original leader from running his
spades is to find the ace of diamonds in
the hand of the other adversary.
With that hope in mind, declarer
should refuse to take the first two spade
tricks and play his ace ON the third one.
He now should lead his diamonds. If
his right-hand adversary wins with the
ace and has no more spades to lead de-
clarer will run on TO game no matter
what is returned. If the right-hand
adversary happens to hold another spade
then the spades are evenly divided, SO
that only three spade tricks can be won
anyway by the defense, declarer making
game.
Playing the hand this way, declarer's
only possible chance to lose his game will
be to find the original leader with five
or more spades and the ace of diamonds.
If that is the situation nothing he can
do will give him game.
