The bidding:
East South West North
Pass Pass 10 IA
~ "a 80 Pass
4V Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead: Four of spades:
The surest way to make game Is
obviously the best way, and consid-
Grafton of overtricks should not be
entertained where the safety of the
contract is in question. East took
too much for granted i'll the play
of the hand and blamed his failure
on the bad break of the cards, when
in point of fact the distribution was
exactly what might have been eX-
pected. The bidding was orthodox
enough. though most modern play
ers would prefer to open the East
hand rather than pass it. The de-
cisive card, peculiarly enough, is the
jack of hearts. This may sound
like splitting hairs, but it really
isn't. The point is that the pos
session of that card gives East a
good rebiddable heart suit, so that
if partner should respond with one
spade or two diamonds he is in a
position to sign off safely with a
bid of two hearts. Had North's bid
of one spade not intervened, his
proper procedure after having passed
would have been to make jump
take-out of two hearts, but mas
much as he was making a free bid
he preferred not to jump to three
hearts and thus crowd the bidding.
South opened the four of spades,
which was taken with the ace De-
clarer drew three rounds of trumps,
trusting that the diamonds would
break and that he would obtain
three discards. This would result
in his taking II tricks, one over
contract. When the diamonds failed
to break, declarer was obliged to
lose four tricks and attributed his
failure to bad luck. AS a matter
of fact, diamonds did not break
badly. An even number of out
standing cards lin this case six)
will on average not break evenly, so
that the 40 division was to be ex-
pected.
The proper play was to draw two
rounds of trumps to see If they were
divided. When this fact is ascer-
tanned, the king and ace of dia-
monds should be cashed and small
diamond led to be ruffed by de-
clarer, with an honor if necessary,
to prevent an over-ruff. Dummy is
then entered with the king of
trumps to cash the two good 6ia-
nonds. In this way declarer makes
five heart tricks, four diamonds and
the ace of spades. for total of 10.
