At the Bridge table the opposite is probably True. North a three heart Cue bid showed a limit raise or better in Spades. With a minimum opening bid. South simply rebid Spades and North had More than enough to proceed to game. Note that East West had a profitable sacrifice at five hearts but we can to fault East for not bidding at any vulnerability. West led the King of diamonds and Declarer an incurable Optimist reckoned on no loser in Trumps or hearts and two in diamonds so the club Finema presented the possibility of an Over trick. That dream was shattered when after winning first trick with the Ace of diamonds Declarer cashed the Ace of Spades and West discarded a heart. Rather than rely on a club finesse Declarer tried for an end play by conceding a Diamond. West won and alertly shifted to a club taken in Dummy. West won the Diamond continuation and reverted to clubs forcing Declarer to finesse. Down one. A More pessimistic Declarer would allow West to win the first trick. If West continues with a Diamond Declarer wins tests Trumps cashes the Ace of hearts and ruffs a heart then takes the Ace of diamonds and exits with a Diamond. After winning the club return in Dummy Declarer sashes the remaining High Trump and then throws East in with the a preen of Spades. East must either land a club into the tables Tenace or yield Ruff stuff in either Case conceding the contract. What if West shifts to a club at trick two Declarer takes the finesse and can later Dia aard a Diamond on the 13th Chub again romping Home with 10 tricks.
