As a matter of fact you should go out of your Way to avoid it. Declarer twice neatly sidestepped a banana Peel and brought Home a no Trump game which might easily have failed. In response to partners Stayman inquiry South denied holding a four card major. With at least one key card in every suit and no interest in an 11-trick contract North simply leaped to three no Trump. West s fourth Best heart opening Lead fetched the Queen and King and was won by the Ace. A careless Declarer would continue with a Diamond to the Queen and Ace. Because of the 4-1 Diamond split a heart Back from East would then have doomed the contract. Declarer realized the vulnerable game could be guaranteed if East could be kept off Lead for a while. To accomplish that South employed a technique known in the Trade As an avoidance play. Declarer crossed to the ten of clubs at trick two and led a Low Diamond. East could not afford to Rise with the Ace that would give Declarer four tricks in the suit and the contract so that defender played Low and the King won. A Diamond continuation would have handed the advantage Back to the defenders but Declarer did not make that mistake. Instead South executed a second avoidance play by crossing to the Queen of clubs and leading a Spade. Again East could not profitably shoot up with the Ace so South a Queen won. That gave Declarer eight tricks four clubs two hearts and one each in Spades and diamonds. Declarer then assured himself of the game going trick by leading a Diamond to the Jack setting up a second trick in that suit.
