The recent publication Of

Opening lead: Spade king.
East wasn't unhappy when
his partner doubled five hearts.
He felt his jump to four spades
promised only offensive
strength, but Just in case Of a
tie he had the king of diamonds
to take an unexpected trick.
And so 1t turned out.
West opened the king of
spades, and declarer discarded
a diamond on dummy's ace of
spades. South ruffed a spade
and led a trump.
West stepped up briskly with
the ace Of trumps since other
wise he might be end-played
later with a trump lead. Since
South apparently wanted to
ruff spades, West decided to
get out with a trump instead of
giving South another spade
ruff.
Valuable Signal
East had the chance to dis
card ons the second round of
trumps. He saw at a glance
that a spade discard would be
meaningless, so he decided to
throw the three of clubs. This
gave West the valuable infor-
nation that his partner had
nothing in clubs. Also that
East had nothing in his head.
Declarar won in dummy with
the queen Of hearts, ruffed an
other spade, and ran the three
clubs. Then he led the ten of
diamonds, and East was forced
to win the trick with his bonus
card-the king Of diamonds.
There was only one trouble
with this bonus--it cost East a
trick. He had to return a
spade. allowing dummy to ruff
while South discarded the
queen Of diamonds. South lost
only one trump and one dia-
mond, making his doubled
contract.
OF course you know what
East should have done. He
should have discarded the king
Of diamonds on the second
round Of trumps! Sooner or
later, West would get two dia-
mond tricks, defeating the con-
tract.
