Holding sure trump trick. West
visualized the possibility Of obtaining
one or more ruffs and opened his
singleton diamond. Mr.. Schenken
played the queen from dummy, but
East refused to cover. Knowing that
he would need a re-entry to dummy
in order to try second diamond
finesse, Mr.. Schenken led a small
spade and finessed the queen. which
fell to Vests king. West now made
the fatal mistake of playing a club,
whereupon declarer drew the remain
ing trumps and then f1nessed East
for the king Of diamonds to make
his doubled contract.
West, who is normally a fine player,
admitted that he had made an afro
cious mistake in trying to put his
partner on lead with a club. He
thought at the time that his partner
might hold only four-card suit,
since he had failed to rebid clubs.
However, he asserted that his part
ner's opening bid and subquent heart
raise had certainly marked him with
at least the king Of hearts. In addi-
tion, it was impossible for declarer
to be void in hearts, since that would
give East five of the suit, in which case
he would have opened the bidding
with a, heart. West, Of course, could
have put his partner in twice with
hearts and obtained two ruffs for
500-point penalty.
