If it turns out that they were unnecessary nothing has been lost. But if they were vital. South s balancing bid of two hearts showed about the equivalent of an opening bid with at least a six card heart suit. Any time you hold three aces and partner has entered the bidding you have a Good hand so North lost no time in get Ting to game. West cashed three Spade tricks and then shifted to the King of Dia monds. A careless Declarer would win the Ace and Cash two High hearts. When he then discovered that Trumps were 4-1, it would be too late to do anything about it. Declarer would eventually have to concede a trick to the Jack of hearts for Down one. Unfortunate. Correct technique is to win the Ace of diamonds and immediately Ruff a Diamond in hand. Next Declarer cashes the King and Ace of Trumps. If both defenders follow Declarer can get Back to hand to draw the last Trump and claim his contract. When West shows out on the Sec Ond Trump however Declarer is now in position to make his game if East s remaining six cards Are four clubs or three clubs and a Dia mond along with his two Trumps. Declarer ruffs another Diamond As East discards a club then continues with three rounds of clubs ending on the table As East follow helplessly. All that is left to do is Lead a minor suit card from the Board. Declarer has the q-9 of Trump poised Over East s j-6, and he scores the last two tricks via a Trump coup regardless of what East elects to do. Both vulnerable. East deals.

Few Are better at this than pakistani Ace Zia Mahmood. Watch him weave his spell on Declarer in a seemingly impregnable four heart contract. The auction was Brief and no one could quibble with South s Deci Sion to bid four hearts. It might seem that Declarer s Only losers Are two clubs and a Spade since the King of hearts can be picked up with a finesse. West led the Jack of clubs East overtook with the Queen and Declarer won the Ace. He ran the Queen of Spades and Zia casually followed with the ten. Now Declarer s imagination went to work. If the ten were a Singleton East would Ruff the second Spade then get to his partner either with a club or a club Ruff to Trump another Spade for the setting trick. Since he apparently had no Spade loser Declarer opted to play the Ace of hearts and another. Finis. Zia won the King of hearts cashed two clubs and then tried the King of diamonds. Declarer ruffed that but it did t help him a bit. No matter How he wriggled he had to concede the setting trick to Zia King of Spades.
