Both sides were vulnerable. Mr.
Law was sitting in the North posi-
ton. His partner passed, West
passed, and Mr. Law opened the
bidding with one spade. East
passed and Mr. Laws partner, sit
ting in the South, bid three spades.
AS both sides were vulnerable, the
bidding was a little too high for
West to venture with four hearts
SO he passed and Mr. Law went to
four spades.
The Play
/ East opened his fourth best heart
the deuce, South played the
three and West won the trick with
the ace. When North's jack fell,
West led the queen of hearts and
Mr. Law, the declarer, trumped in
his own hand with the five of
spades. He reasoned the hand as
follows-there were three ways to
play 1t. He might take double
finesse in diamonds, he might try
to drop the queen Of diamonds II
they were split three-two, hoping to
find the queen and one in one hand
or he might play for a club break.
The latter was the plan decided
upon by Mr. Law. He therefore led
the four Of clubs, East refused to
win playing the five, and Mr. Law
won the trick in the dummy with
the queen of clubs. A small spade
was returned from dummy and won
by Mr. Law with the queen. The
deuce of clubs was then led, East
winning the trick with the ace
dummy playing the six and West
the ten.
East could see that the clubs
were going to break and that three
valuable discards would be afforded
the declarer. The only entry the
declarer had into the dummy, how.
ever, was the king of trump. East
boldly led the king of hearts hoping
that the declarer would trump ir
| the dummy with the seven o.
spades. 1t would then have beer
impossible for him to pick up the
trump and still get into the DUNN,
to make his good club. But the de-
/ clarer refused to fall into the traI
instead he discarded q small dia
mord from the dummy and trump
ed in his own hand with the nint
of spades. He then led the acc
and one spade, winning the secont
spade in dummy with the king. TIL,
three good clubs were then cashed
| declarer discarding three losini
diamonds from his own hand.
| 1t is not very often that tn
proper play is to deliberately leat
a card that the declarer can ruff
in one hand and stuff in the other
but IL the declarer had made tn,
mistake of ruffing in the wrong
hand. 1t was the only possible pla!
that would defeat the declarer
contract.
