As Hercule Poirot might have said a a Little exercise of the Gray cells is All the situation North was perhaps a trifle ambitious in driving to slam with Only a Singleton Trump but he certainly had full value in the Black suits. The hidden asset was a partner who was an excellent Dummy player. West led the Queen of diamonds taken by the Ace. Declarer a initial plan was to draw two rounds of Trumps and if the Queen did not drop abandon Trumps in favor of trying to get two Quick discards on the Spade suit. So he cashed the King and Ace of Trumps but had to go Back to the drawing Board when East discarded a club on the second round. Now it would no longer help if three rounds of Spades went through. West would be Able to Ruff the fourth round with a Low Trump and the Queen of Trumps would be the setting trick. If the slam was going to succeed West would have to hold four Spades once Declarer came to that conclusion the rest was easy. Declarer cashed the King of Spades and ran the ten when East showed out on the second round it was All Over. Dummy was entered with the Ace of clubs and two diamonds were discarded on the Ace and Queen of Spades As West followed helplessly. Declarer came to hand with a club ruffed High forced out the Queen of hearts ruffed the return Drew the last Trump and claimed a beautifully played slam. No compound squeeze no devils coup no w ankle. Just sheer poetry. Q. A both vulnerable As South you hold a kj3 7aq72 095 4a762 partner opens the bidding with one Spade. What do you respond a a whether you play four or five card majors the answer is the same. Bid two clubs. Why not jump raise partners suit to three Spades because that promises four card support.
