If possible make sure that should your primary line fail you have another in Reserve. This band is from a High stake rubber Bridge game at new York s famous Caven dish club. South took advantage of the vulnerability to pre empt with three clubs. West had the perfect distribution for a takeout double which More than made up for any shortage of High cards and North had plenty in Reserve for the jump to game. Declarer was not prepared to risk his contract with a Spade finesse at trick one. Instead South Rose with the Ace ruffed a Spade in hand and led a heart. West grabbed the Ace and exited with a heart ruffed in Dummy. Declarer Drew Trumps ending in Dummy. Since West could not afford to discard a Spade that defender parted with two hearts and a Diamond. The stage was now set. Declarer ruffed a Spade in Case the suit split 4-3, but he did not mind when East showed out. The hand was now a la Down regardless of which defender held the Jack of diamonds. When Declarer led his last Trump West was forced to come Down to two Spades an Ace and another Diamond while Dummy was reduced to Ace Jack of Spades and King and another Diamond. Declarer simply led a Low Diamond to Ward Dummy when West shot up with the Ace Declarer jettisoned Dummy s King leaving West with a Choice of ways by which to commit suicide. A Dia mond would allow Declarer to score his three diamonds for the rest of the tricks. A Spade would permit Declarer to take the marked finesse of Dummy s Jack and then score the last two tricks with the High Spade in Dummy and High Diamond in hand. That s 11 tricks any Way you look at it. Q.
