 The Bidding
 South, the declarer, has too strong a defensive hand to pre-empt the bidding with four or five diamonds. The principle of the pre-emptive bid can be well stated in the follow ing language: When your hand is strong extensively and weak defen- sively, then pre-empt the bidding" Here, however, South is strong both extensively (that is, strong if the hand is played at diamonds) and de- fensively Chat is, if the opponents play the hand at any other declara- tion).
 Having ace, king of hearts, the ace of spades and the ace of dia- monds, ordinarily good for at least four tricks against any defensive bid, there is no sound reason for Q pre- -emptive or a shut out bid.
 If the adversaries proceed too far with the bidding, he has Q sufficient number of tricks to double.
 In any event, South should con- tinue the auction by bidding up to five diamonds, because of his large hcnor count; but should double any further bid on the part of the ad- versaries.

on the queen and jack and thus make two winning tricks out of two losing tricks. His problem, how ever, is to get in dummy's hand after the ace and king of hearts have been played.
 Only one method Is available, lose one trick in order to win two.
 Lead small trump, overplaying in the dummy. East wins this trick, but South wins all the other tricks regardless of East's play. If club is, returned, South trumps with an honor; if spade is led, South wins with the ace; and in either event Q small trump from South places dummy in the lead, and the two losing spades are discarded on dum- my's two high hearts.
 Unless South forces East to win the second diamond trick, South can score only four odd. losing one club and two spades.
 In other words. South must give up one trick to win two.
 This hand is like the kings gam- bit at chess or the darkies secret Of success at checkers. "Gib foah and take 'leben."

South now takes stock of his possible losing cards, which are only hte six and queen of spades. What is to be done with these cards?
 If trumps are led, the usual rou- tine for any declarer to follow, these two tricks will eventually be lost to the adversaries.
