South a bidding is also enigmatic the Long suit Wasny to Good enough to insist on a Spade contract opposite unknown support West led the Jack of chips find Declarer realized he was faced with an almost impossible assignment. Without the information provided by the bidding Declarer might Well have allowed the Jack of clubs to ride round to the Queen relying on the Diamond finesse and a Lucky position in Trumps to bring Home the Bacon. Under the circumstances however the Jack of clubs was quite Likely to be a Singleton so Declarer Rose with the Ace and ran the ten of diamonds. When that held the Diamond finesse was repeated before drawing two rounds of Trumps. Leaving the master Trump outstanding Declarer cashed the Ace of diamonds before leading the last Diamond. West was a goner. If the defender ruffed the forced heart return would give Declarer a free finesse enabling the two clubs to be staffed from the closed hand. But discarding a heart proved to be no better.
