The bidding:
East South West North
spade 2clubs 2Spades 3clubs
3 spades Pass 4spades Pass
Pass Pass
Opening lead: King of clubs.
The bidding is given as it actually
occurred. 1t was normal enough in
all respects with the exception of
South's overcall of two clubs, which
can be condoned only in considera-
ton of the vulnerable features Of
the deal. West has a good hand in
support Of partners opening spade
bid, but may content himself with
a simple raise inasmuch as it Is a
free bid and thus denotes a good
hand. East having definite values
beyond the opening bid is privileged
to make one more move and Vests
raise to game Is routine.
South opened the king of clubs,
which declarer won and extracted
trumps in two rounds Everything
appeared to hinge upon guessing
the location of the jack of dia-
monds. inasmuch as two hearts and
diamond had to be lost in any
event. In view of the overcall, de-
clarer elected to play South for the
ace Of diamonds. He therefore led
the four and played the king from
dummy. This lost to the ace and
subsequent fnesse of the ten of dia-
monds also failed. Sorry, partner,
I misguessed it, but the bidding
threw me of"
If it had come down to q cold
proposition of guessing the location
OF the jack of diamonds, no fault
could be found with the declarer's
technique. But there was no need
for him to be in any hurry to guess.
There is always the chance that the
opponents might do his guessing for
him. On a great many hands, when
you don't know what to do, surpris-
ing results are frequently attained
by giving the ball to the opposition.
This is very much akin to the STRAIT
egy of a smart quarterback on
muddy field.
Declarer's best bet was to coax q
diamond lead from the enemy. In
fact, he might even be able to COM
pei it. The five of clubs should be
ruffed Immediately and the trumps
drawn. Now the ace and another
heart gives the ball to the opposi-
ton, and since club may not be
returned, the one who Wins this
trick may have to lead diamond.
If he has another heart, as actu-
ally was the case, he may lead that.
But now the diamond lead is COM
PEELED. If worse comes to worse,
and the player who wins the third
heart trick has still another heart
to lead. then declarer is no worse
off than he was in the first place.
He simply goes out to guess the jack
of diamonds. But it is sound tactics
to postpone all guesses as long as
possible. More often than not some
one will tell you.
