Winning Contract BY THE roum ACES. DEFENSE against no-trump contracts Is extremely dif ficult. Very often declarer will be able to run off a four or five card suit and one of his op ponents will be forced to make one or more discards. In this situation the defender should discard so as to give the declarer as little information as possible concerning his distribution. To our mind, the hand below yielded two major errors—first, a poor discard by West, which was foUowed by, sec ond, declarer’s failure to take advan tage of it. West dealer. Both sides vulnerable. * A Q 10 ¥ J 9 8 6 2 ♦ K J 7 4 * 5 *62 N *8743 ¥784 W + E ¥ A Q 10 ♦ 10 9 3 S ♦ Q 8 * Q 9 8 3 2 * K J 7 8 * K J 9 5 ¥ K 3 ♦ A 8 6 3 * A 10 4 The bidding: West. North. East. South Pass Pass 1* Dbl. 3* 3V Pass 1NT Pass Pass Dbl. Pass Pass Pass East's double of three no trump was fairly sound. It looked as if the club suit could be established In one lead and his heart strength In back of the suit bid by dummy would probably be quite useful. When West opened the three of clubs, declarer saw no point In hold ing up. so he won the first trick and ran off four tricks in spades. On the third round West discarded a heart, on the fourth a diamond. De clarer then played the ace of dia monds, then finessed dummy's jack, at the same time saying to West, “I know you have the queen and your diamond discard was meant to fool me." East, after making his single ton queen of diamonds, led a club and the defense won six tricks, ob taining a 500-point penalty. Of course West should never have discarded a diamond, ae he could see that that m the dangerous suit, whereas his partner was sure to have a trick in hearts. At the same time, declarer should have read the dis card. As declarer already had won five tricks, West could see that four diamond tricks would give him his contract. Hence, it West had held four of that suit to the queen-ten nine, he would not have thrown one, as even a successful finesse would have given declarer only three dia mond tricks, one short of the con tract. Declarer therefore should have gone up with the king of diamonds in dummy, with the almost certain knowledge that the queen would drop. (Copyright. 1937.)
