Opening lead, two of diamonds
Leslie Dodds of the British team
succeeded in registering a 1890
point gain for his side against the
Americans when he played this
hand against us in the internation-
al matches at Bermuda.
The auction, bid for bid, fol-
lowed the same sequence at both
tables. but, despite the eminence of
the players involved, this depart
ment is not inclined to indorse the
bidding sequence in its entirety
North's call of three spades with
a hand worth only II dummy
points" may appear to be extreme,
but shaded raises of this character
are acceptable after a previous pass,
because under these condition the
Jump is not forcing.
In an effort to. get to a slam,
South naturally showed the ace of
clubs. It is with North's showing of
the ace of diamonds that we take
issue. Having made a shaded
jump bid, it behooved North to ap-
ply the brakes when he observed his
partners blood pressure mounting,
and he ought not to have volun-
teered the information that he held
the diamond ace. Had West chosen
to lead the ace of hearts, the con-
tract would have been doomed, but
1t is not our purpose to dispute his
choice. Ace leads against slams are
not particularly favored by the elite
and in this particular case West felt
that the lead of the ace might put
him under suspicion of holding the
queen of trumps.
With the diamond opening, his
tory must be made at the very first
trick. Declarer's problem, though
critical, was uninvolved. If he took
the finesse and it lost, it was sud-
den death. But should it develop
that the queen of spades could not
be captured, refusing the fnesse
would be disastrous if West had
led from the king. When the hand
was played by the Americans, de-
clarer chose to finesse and lost his
contract at once.
DoddS declined the finesse, feel
ing that he had better than a so
per cent chance If he went up with
the ace. He planned to draw two
rounds of trumps. If trumps were
two-two, the contract was assured,
since dummy's heart could be dis
carded on the fourth club and both
hearts ruffed in dummy.
II the spade queen happened to
be singleton, three rounds of trumps
would be drawn, followed by four
rounds of clubs, on the last of which
the heart is discarded. Now by
leading diamond toward dummy,
declarer can establish a 18th trick
unless. East has both diamond
honors. &

Andover: Will you please explain
the dot over 'i'' and 81" and tell us

A. The 81" and 81" both evolved
