Contract Bridge

Of course, South has no diamond
f1nesse to take, for there is only one
play he can make properly. He
should lead the ace of spades and
then play small spade. winning
in dummy with the queen.
His hope in the hand is to find
East not only with the queen of
clubs, but also with the queen of
diamonds, SO the ace and king of
diamonds are cashed Immediately
and then a spade returned, South
winning with the king. Declarer
then lays down his two good spades,
discarding two diamonds from dunn
my.
That was the reason the ace and
the king Of diamonds were played
first SO that those two diamonds
could, be discarded. On the first
spade, East can let go a club, but
on the second spade he is helpless.
If he discards the queen of dia-
monds, the declarer's jack is good,
while his only play is to let go the
eight of clubs. In the meantime,
West has let go heart and the ten
of diamonds, hoping to convince the
declarer that he holds two clubs to
the queen.
But his original play was too OBJ
vious, so the declarer refuses to
take the finesse, goes up with the
ace of clubs in dummy, dropping
East's queen, and the jack of clubs
wins the last trick.

Solution to PreUi0MS
Contract Problem
BY w. E. MKENNEY
Secretary American Bridge League

secretary American Bridge League
THIS is another of John Beam
Il ishs interesting hands from
the Bridge Magazine of England,
taken from an article by him en-
titled Delaying the Finesse." In
today's hand he gives us an eX-
ample of that interesting squeeze
the Vienna coup-which avoids the
fineSse.
South has a borderline hand con-
tanning two and one-half high card
tricks, but as he has only five card
suit, he can not bid originally.
North properly bids one diamond
and when South makes a Uncover
one bid of one spade, we find North
being forced to assist the spades
with only three to the queen.
To bid one no trump would be
signing the hand off, and it is worth
while giving his partner a chance.
There is no real advantage in
having North become the declarer
at no trump; therefore, in this case,
he must support his partner with
only three trump.
South shows that he has five
card suit by bidding three spades
and North takes the contract tc
four.
INVEST cashes his three top
w hearts and then leads the
deuce Of clubs. The seven is played
from dummy and East plays the
