Pass
When this hand was played in q
xseent tournament, West led the
deuce of diamonds South, who was
Caaett Bowie of Baltimore, decided
that West must have the club ace
end that some measure must be
taken TO prevent the loss of two
clubs as well as two hearts. The
best chance was an incomplete
strip.
He ruffed the opening diamond
head In dummy, led q low trump
so his own hand and ruffed an
other diamond in dummy. Then
he led the 10 OF hearts from the
dummy. East, rather naturally but
wnwisely, covered with the jack, and
Mr.. Bowie won with the ace. The
next step was to ruff the last dia-
mond In dummy and return heart.
West could win his two heart
tricks, but was then unable to find
a safe continuation. If he led
fourth heart or fourth diamond
dummy would ruff with the last
trump while South discarded
club; and if West led clubs. South
would surely make trick with the
club king. II West, instead of East,
had happened to hold two trumps,
he could have exited safely with a
trump; but, fortunately for South.
Vests singleton trump rendered
the incomplete strip effective.
