However the five card Diamond suit compensated by offering a possible source of tricks and we approve of the bid. Facing a balanced 13-15 Points North had no ambitions. Those declares who failed to deliver the contract won the first trick in hand and immediately took the club finesse. East captured the Jack with the Queen and knowing from the auction that West could not have a sure entry even if Spades could be established shifted to a heart. Declarer won and tried to split out the clubs but the 4-2 split meant Only one Long club trick could be set up and no More than eight tricks could be garnered. Had South simply counted tricks before being enticed by the club finesse the winning line would have become apparent. Spades hearts and clubs furnished seven top tricks so Declarer needed to set up Only two More before the opponents knocked out two stoppers in either major to sail Home. While the club suit offered an Odds on Chance of that the Diamond suit was a lock for three tricks after winning the first trick Declarer should simply Bave led a Diamond to the Queen and persevered with diamonds upon regaining the Lead.
