Taking the right position in one phase of the Campaign can be Nuu Ifird by a slip elsewhere As this hand graphically illustrates. This department endorsed North s raise to two Spades on three Low Trumps. The fact that the hand contains a ruffing value and mostly prime cards makes the simple raise preferable to one no Trump. After the opening Lead of the Queen of diamonds it looked like a simple contract at worst one loser in each suit except for Trumps. Declarer took the see of diamonds and Drew two rounds of Trumpa to get the bad news. Declarer Chehad the Ace and King of hearts and continued with a Low heart from Dummy. East ruffed led e Low Diamond to West s nine and scored another heart Ruff for a one trick act Declarer played the hearts Well. Had South been Able to Mutt East to one Niff the contract would have rolled Home despite the 4-1 Trump split. And that could have been accomplished by avoiding a slight mis Cue at the very first trick. It required no deep play. Declarer should Simp have let West hold the first Diamond. Now nothing can Hurt the contract. Declarer wins the Diamond continuation and continues As before. Now if East Rufly the third heart Weet has no entry to give partner a second Ruff. If East refuses to Ruff Declarer s Queen wins and the last heart is ruffed on the table. Regardless of what the defence does Declarer can lose no More than three tricks. Q.
