Declarer was guilty of a Subtle error in the play of this hand. See if you can do better. South had a borderline opening bid we would have been More supportive had the Long suit been a major. North probed for a 4-4 Spade fit then bounced direct to a Small slam in no Trump when South announced a balanced minimum by rebinding one no Trump. Declarer played Low from Dummy on the heart opening Lead and captured East a Queen with the King. After cashing the Ace of diamonds Declarer returned to hand with the Queen of Spades and run the eight of diamonds when West followed a safety play to protect against a 4-1 break. Declarer mentally patted himself on the Back when East showed . However after cashing the King of diamonds Declarer needed two entries to establish and run the suit and the Ace of clubs was the Only sure one. In an attempt to secure another Declarer tried the club finesse Down one. We feel sure that most declares would have played the hand in exactly the same fashion. Our correspondence however suggests that Many of our readers would have spotted a slip in technique. Did you Declarer lost an entry at trick one Correct was to play the Jack of hearts from Dummy. If East produces the Queen Declarer can win and the ten of hearts will now become the extra entry if East does not cover Declarer still has the King of hearts with which to return to hand. The rest of the play proceeds in the same Way. Now when the eight of diamonds wins Declarer can Cash the tables remaining High Diamond come to hand with the heart entry and present West with a Diamond trick. Declarer can then get Back with the Ace of clubs to Cash the Long Diamond for the 12th trick. Q.
