Opening lead: Trey of spades.
Four hearts doubled was a
popular contract when this
hand came along in the. finals
of the national open pair
championship a few weeks ago.
The fate of the contract de-
pended on how quickly East
weakened declarer's trumps.
The best defenders won the
first trick with the ace of
spades and switched at once
to the king of diamonds. If
East could get a diamond
trick. the contract was
doomed; If South could ruff
the first diamond, at least he
would have to shorten his
trumps.
Declarer Rufus
AS 1t happened, South could
and did ruff the first dia-I
mond. A trump return knocked
out the king, and back came
a low diamond to make South
ruff again.
Another trump return
knocked out the ace. and back
came a third round of dia-
monds. If South ruffed again,
he would have only one trump
while East had two. East
would win both trumps or one
trump and the ace of diamonds,
for a penalty of 500 points.
There was no way to make
the contract. but the best de-
clarers discarded a club on the
third diamond instead of
ruffing. West had to win with
the queen of diamonds and
return a black suit to the
South hand. Now South could
draw trumps and get out with
loss Of only 200 points.
AS you can see, the prompt
switch to diam onds puts
South in a position in which
he must struggle to go down
only one trick. But if East
foolishly continues the spades
at the second trick land we've
all seen far more foolish
things at the bridge table,
South makes his doubled con-
tract. Play it through, and
you'll see that South can
knock out the top trumps and
draw trumps without losing
control. He loses only one
spade and two trumps.

Dealer bids one heart, your
partner doubles, and the next
player bids one spade. You
hold:
A97632 06 cora %1Os73
What do you say2
Answer: Pass. You suspect
that the spade bid is as
phony as ga three-dollar bill,
and you would double to show
up the psychic bid If you had
some sort Of respectable hand.
With the actual hand your
best course is to keep quiet
and hope that the opponents
will trip over their own feet.
