NoRTH--DEALER

Someone recently remarked that the basis of sound auction play is card counting. Like all generaliza- tions this is but partial truth. the view that, in the long run, the faculty of drawing the logical in- ferences from the bidding and in. cooperating them into a plan of play is more important.
 However. in the hand under dis cussion the principle involved Is simple and therefore tactical re- view should be confined to frauda- mentals.
 East obtained the contract at one no trump without competition. south opened the three of diamonds. and with the fall of the four of dia- monds from North 1t is up to the declarer well. it is up to the de- clarer to think.
 The basic fact about auction Is that it is an intellectual game-a contest of wits. All the cut and dried formulae. the conventional openings, discards and bids. the fixed procedure for the play of type hands the vast majority) stand for us of today. ready made.
 So with this hand. In the writ CTS opinion the principle of un- blocking here involved has been rehashed so often that the correct procedure for East is no more than decent technique and all comment superfluous except for inexperienced players.
 East can count as certain tricks four spades. one heart. three dia- monds and one club - q game, pro- vlding the ace and jack of spades can be cashed without sacrificins one Of his own spade honors to enter the dummy. He must provide for the contingency that four spades in' elusive Of the 10 spot may be punched in one hand. From the opening of the three of diamonds. he knows South holds four dIamonds headed by tho queen and that there. fore he can never realise more than three tricks in this suit.
 The crucial play is thus that to the first trick East must play either the ace or king of diamonds to pers mt inc jack of diamonds Co serve as sure entry = then for the secs ond and third tricks the king and queen os spades. For ths fourth trIck a tow diamond Insnres game against any defense. Not c single expert parilelpntlnf in the contest failed ia play tbin hand correctly. tcopyfIsht. 1881. NEA Service. ine)
