Just How dangerous indiscriminate use of this up can be was proved by this hand from the recent euro Pean championship. South was afraid that his opponents had nine fast tricks at their no Trump rame so he elected to Sacri fice at four Spades. He was wrong in his assessment of the opponents capabilities but he ended up with a huge profit nevertheless. West attacked with King and another club Declarer ruffing the second round. He led the Queen of Spades from hand and West ducked. This slight error proved to be fatal. Declarer finessed the Jack of diamonds and led a heart. East Rose with the Ace and continued clubs in an Effort to promote a Trump trick for his partner. Declarer ruffed with the ten and West correctly declined to Over Ruff he stuffed a heart in Auad. The of diamonds was Olav cd an Declarer discarded a heart on the Ace of diamonds. He ruffed a Dia mond with his Low Trump and cashed the King of heart., raw of West to a Biag but Trumps. De Torer simply wiled with his hit heart. West was forced it Ruff track and the Toad away from his King of Trumps into Declarer s Ace Jack Tenace. So West ended up making Only one Trump trick and Declarer fulfilled his  can defeat the hand if he wins the King of Trumps at trick two. He leads a heart to his partner s Ace and another club from East pro motes West s nine of Trumps to the setting trick. All of which reminds us of the Goldsmith poem about the Rabid dog that bit one of the citizens the Man re covered from the bite. It was the dog that  a a q. North South Vulner Able a South you hold 7 94 partner opens the bidding with one no Trump. What do you respond  surely want u be ingate opposite a partner who opened one no Trump.

Pass t what do you bid now  i usually our practice to respond to a takeout double at the one level with a four car major rather than a five card minor. Here however the spacesuit is m shabby and the Dia monds so Good that we would depart from practice and bid one Diamond. The auction is no yet Over we might still get a Chance to show our Spades. D both vulnerable As South you hold 07 okqs2 oaj74 4akqs partner opens the bidding with one Spade. What do you respond  terms Al ugh cards you have adequate values for a jump shift but that would not be Wise course on this hand. The fact that you have a Singleton in partner s suit and no suit longer than four cards indicate that you will need a lot of room to explore Tor a fit and the right level at which to play the hand. Therefore we suggest that for the moment you simply bid two dubs to see How the auction develops. A32 86south q105 0 ak76s2 Kythe bidding South West North East 2 it pass 3 it pass Para Pas opening Lead three of 7. One extra entry was All that stood Between two de carers and Success on this hand from a recent team match. The two declares tried different methods but to no Avail. The winning play which in t easy to spot even looking at All four hands waa not found at either table. South did not have an easy bid to make. Since the hand was a Whit too weak fora two Diamond opening bid. And too Strong Tor a be bid we Are inclined to accept Bis slightly off shape two no Trump opening bid. Despite Bis six card suit South held no Singleton and he had toppers in All tit auks. North has an easy raise to three no Trump. At both tables the opening Lead was a heart taken by the King and at both table West ducked twice when Declarer led the King Queen of clubs. The first Declarer then ran the Queen of Spades. East promptly won the King and returned a heart and there was no Way for Declarer to make the contract. The second Declarer tried to reach Dummy immediately by leading a Spade to the nine. But he too had to con cede after East won the King and returned a heart. When West got in later with the Ace of clubs he could Cash Throe heart trick to upset Declarer s plans. Have you dear Reader spotted the winning line it has Olu Dod Many expert mho have Bee shown this Hud. At trick our Declarer bust Load the Queen of Pade and overtake in Dum my with the Acel but that Juii the first move. Next Declarer bad the Jack of club and discards the Ace of hearts now there is no Way the defenders can set up hearts without giving Declarer an entry to Dummy with the Jack of hearts. And it the defenders do not continue hearts Declarer can Force an entry to the table by leading a Spade to the nine. In All he will take five clubs two Dia monds and at least two tricks in the major suits. M my q.
