South's three no-trump bid
represented considerable optimism.
since his second-round bid of two
no-trump over East's two diamonds
had already shown great strength.
Nevertheless his partner had signed
off at three clubs.
When West doubled, North. with
his horrible hand. was tempted to
run out to four clubs, but decided:
AFTER all, my partner dug this
grave. Let him work his way out" !"
However, the way the cards lay
there was no defense against four
no-trump. West opened the ace of
diamonds and then shifted to the 10
of spades. South won with the king,
played the ace-king of clubs, then
over to dummy with the queen of
hearts and led the 10 of clubs.
West won with the jack, and now.
since he saw there was no further
hope, simply cashed his ace of
spades and held declarer to four
