Since his hand contained no Groat strength he preferred not to increase the contract by naming his longer Diamond suit. South was unduly aggressive in now leaping to two no Trump. This Call normally designates a holding containing 19-20 Points in High  s three Diamond Ruid is a wasted Effort. He has no in Tention of playing a Spade con tract even if he gets a delayed preference nor should he con template a minor suit game which requires 11 tricks. North should therefore bid three no Trump directly inasmuch As his 7 Points Are sufficient for the  West chosen to Lead the in Bill club suit the three no Trump contract probably would have been fulfilled unless East shifted immediately to a Spade. But he realized that the Only entries Dummy could have forthe Diamond suit were no doubt in Spades and if these entries were attacked it might be pos sible to prevent the run of the diamonds after they became established and West knew that it would take at least two Dia mond leads for Declarer to Clear that suit. With that definite purpose the Jack of Spades was led. When West regained the Lead with a Diamond he continued with the ten of Spades depriving the Dum my of its last entry. By merely holding up one round of Dia monds West was Able to shut out the Dummy and Declarer was held to seven tricks. Copyright 1059.
