NORTH A8742 0 .1 9 7 WEST EAST 410653 AKQ9 10 3 0108632 OAQ54 SOUTH A A9R754 0 Void A 30 6 5 The bidding: South West North East I Pass 2 Pass 9 Pass Pass Pass Opening lead: Deuce of South put on a real virtuoso performance in today's hand. When his opening bid of one heart received single raise, he decided that if his partner put down a reasonable holding in trumps, Ihcra should be a play for a slam. Rather than disclose his holding to the opposition, he decided io shoot it out by leaping directly to six hearts. Then he devised a brilliant piece of deception which caught an unwary opponent off guard and made his aggressive action pay off.

West opened the deuce of clubs and the dummy was spread. South made a brief appraisal of the combined holdings and then played the seven of clubs frrim dummy. East put up the queen and declarer false carded by playing the ace. With scarcely a pause, back the five of clubs. West, seeing no apparent necessity for winning the trick himself, followed with the eight, moment later he shocked to find North'i to be high when Eait playw! the three.

The king of hearts was cashed and another heart was led to the ace. When West showed out, it revealed that East had a winner in the jack of trumps. South abandoned hearts and led the king of clubs. When West's Jack dropped, declarer's side suit was established and he proceeded to lead out the rest of his clubs. Three spades were discarded from dummy and it didn't matter whether or not.

East chose to ruff in, for dummy's six of hearts provided a ruff for South's jack of spades after (he ace was cashed. The jack of hearts was the only trick he lost on the deal. When the hand was finished, West asked his opponent for an explanation of the iatter's unusual play at trick two. "Well," South replied, "It appeared to me that you were leading from an honor, find if I attempted to ruff out the jack of clubs, I would slill have loser in spades and the fate of the contract would hinge on an even division in hearts. "Even if you went up wilh the jack of clubs, I would still be in position lo discard three spades from dummy on my remaining clubs, and I would merely have traded trick for trick.

When you dirt not rise lo the I pm by no means crlt'ciz- Ing your picked up a trick. When trumps did not divide, my gambit at trick two proved to absolutely essential, for I would have gorw set without it."
