The Bidding

At auction, South the dealer would buy the contract at one no trump, while at contract, North you'd take him to two no trump and South would then go to three no trump.
 The Play
 West has to suits, each headed by a king. to select to open. The major suit is selected as it is the strongest and the six of hearts is led, declarer winning with the ten.
 Declarer leads small diamond to dummy's ace. returning the jack of diamonds, taking the finesse through East in the lead to lead a heart. East covers with the queen, declar- CT winning with the king. Two more rounds of diamonds are taken by the declarer, the last one being won in the dummy by the eight spot, East discards the deuce of hearts. West discarding the deuce and five of clubs.
 The declarer knows he must lose at least one spade trick. He has no protection in clubs and decides to do the unusual and lead the clubs himself, therefore the six spot is led from dummy, declarer playing the queen to give the impression that he is f1nessing the ace, queen, West wins with the king. In the face of this, West does not want to return a club, he must not lead a heart, and for some reason the declarer to be weak in spades and returns the queen of spades.
 Declarer plays low in dummy and when the nine drops from the East hand, which the declarer hopes West will figure as comeon card. he plays low. coaxing West to con- tinue the spades. West does this by returning the jack of spades which the declarer wins with the ace. A spade is returned to dummy's king, West discarding club and East the three of clubs.
 Declarer cashes his good spade in dummy and his ace of hearts. His bit of strategy has assisted him in making three no trump
