Grand slams however Ore not that uncommon but to bid and make a grand slam after your opponents have opened the bidding is a rare Bird indeed. South a two diamonds was a weak jump Overall. Usually this action is taken with a six card suit but at this vulnerability it is not unknown for practitioners to take some liberties. North thought it highly Likely that South held no More than one Spade and decided to play a grand slam if partner held both the King and Queen of diamonds. Five no Trump was the grand slam Force asking partner to bid the grand with two of the three top honors and South dutifully obliged. East a double was More a matter of High dudgeon than any conviction that the slam could be Defeated. Since it was obvious that North South were bidding on distribution rather than Power West led a Trump in an Effort to Cut Down on possible ruffs. It was an intelligent Choice but not enough to defeat the. Contract. Declarer won with Dummy a nine As East followed and immediately ruffed a Spade High. A heart to the King was followed by another Spade ruffed High and the eight of Dia monds was overtaken with the ten to permit Declarer to Ruff a Spade with the King of Trumps As West discarded a heart. All of Dummy a Spades were now established. Declarer crossed to the table with a club Ruff cashed the Ace of Trumps to draw the last Trump. And the Ace of Spades to remove the defenders last card in that suit Dummy was left with nothing but winners and the doubled grand slam had rolled Home with Only 22.High-, card Points in the combined holding.

West a double can be attributed either to a fit of pique or knowledge of Declarer a ability we would not have been confident of a double of six Spades a. A West led the Singleton heart and East made the Good technical play of the i Ines West surely was not. Leading away from the Ace so it Cost nothing to discover who held the Queen. Declarer now had nine tricks seven Trumps and two hearts and the 10th could come Only from a heart rub so South won the Queen and pitched the Ace of hearts on the table and the contract out the window in one fell swoop. West ruffed away the Ace of hearts and returned a Trump although Declarer was Able to Ruff a heart in Dummy he was Back to the nine tricks with which he had Start eds Down one.
