The latter takes a finesse on Many hands that the expert would spurn yet often fails to take a finesse that is vital. The auction was Over quite quickly. With a source of tricks in hand and the equivalent of an opening bid facing a partner who had opened South was Content to contract for nine tricks at no Trump As soon As he Learned his partner probably held a six card Spade suit. West led the Queen of diamonds and Declarer counted five top tricks. Therefore he needed Only four tricks from clubs to make his game. There was just one threat East had to be prevented from gaining the Lead until the club suit was established. Once the problem was Clear the solution was simple. Declarer won the first trick in Dummy with the King and immediately led a club inserting the nine when East followed with a Low club. West in with the ten of clubs could not continue diamonds profitably so the defender shifted to a Spade. South was not going to take any chances at this Point. The tables Ace of Spades was played the closed hand was entered with the King of hearts and the King of clubs was led to Force out the Ace. East reverted to a Diamond but it was too late. Declarer shot up with the Ace and scampered for Home by running clubs and then cashing the Ace of hearts. Note that had Declarer led a club to the King he would have had to take the double Dummy line of continuing with a Low club at trick three to land the game. If South continues with the Queen East would win and return a Diamond and the contract would fail. Q. A As South vulnerable you hold a k7653 9aq6 oak83 7 partner opens the bidding with one Spade. What do you respond Are far too Strong to jump to three Spades. This hand is headed for slam so you should Flash the signal immediately. Jump shift to three diamonds. Done to worry about your shortness there. Partner has bid the ranking suit and you definitely intend playing this hand in Spades. Q. A As South vulnerable you hold a j1076 99 oq732 �T�a1076 the bidding has proceeded West North East South 19 dbl 3 9 ? what action do you take let East a preempt Stop you from showing your values. Opposite a vulnerable takeout double you have a pretty fair hand and you could easily have game. Bid three Spades. Done to worry about the Quality of the suit. Partner surely has four Spades on this auction or compensating values. Ino on inv i v civil a ii. Inn Sosa sin in ii Onovi l it Ltd i in h i Rivi sni Mocini ainu i�afco�ai3 a it to of Imlay q. A As South vulnerable you hold 4a6 9q 0 j98643 aj93 the bidding has proceeded North East South West 1 4 pass 1 0 pass 1 9 pass ? what do you bid now we Are not among those who believe that a bid of one Spade now would be fourth suit forcing it should Promise at least a four card suit. We also can see no reason Why we should not make the natural strength showing jump to three clubs. Q a As South vulnerable you hold q6 9kq95 oaj102 j83 the bidding has proceeded South West North East 1 0 pass 14 2 4 ? what action do you take a a had East not entered the auction you would have Heen forced to bid. Any bid by you now would show some additional feature of your hand. Since you have a dead minimum opening bid and no particular fit for partners suit pass.
