He is equally adept on defense As this Deal from a world championship match against the . Bears eloquent testimony. Sitting South was Robert Ham Man the highest ranked american player on the world Bridge federation master Point list. A Light third hand opening bid propelled North South into a shaky four Spade game which might have come Home had Declarer been left to his own devices. From the strength of the West hand it was not difficult to visualize that North South would be relying heavily on distributional assets. Belladonna started the defense off on the right foot by selecting a Trump As the opening Lead rather than the King of diamonds which would have been the Choice of most players and which would have solved All of Declarer a problems. South won in Dummy and led a heart to the King and Ace. Belladonna found a Devilish switch he led the seven of diamonds. Not surprisingly Declarer thought East surely had one of the two top diamonds so a Low Diamond was played from the table. East won the Jack and the Diamond return allowed the defenders to take two More tricks in the suit for a one trick set. In the other room the italians also reached four Spades on a similar auction. Here too West found the Safe Trump opening Lead. Declarer Drew a second round of Trumps ending in hand and then led a Diamond. West Rose with the King cashed the Ace and exited with a Diamond. Declarer discarded a heart on the tables Long Diamond took two ruffing finesse for the King and Queen of clubs and ended up with an Over trick q.

Our vote goes to the admitted under bid of three diamonds. Although that a not forcing it Seldom gets passed. And if it does there a a fair Chance that there a no game in the hand. Q. A As South vulnerable you hold #10843 76 0kj4 #k8652 partner opens the bidding with one Diamond. What do you respond  raise partners minor with Only three card support. That leaves a Choice Between one no Trump and one Spade. Since one no Trump with a Singleton is out of the question when there a another option available one Spade becomes automatic despite the poor Quality of the suit. Q.
