Do you think South adopted the Best line or was a better one available if so what South a hand is borderline for a game invitation. We would not fault anyone for passing but we feel the Quality of the Spade suit and length in partners Diamond suit just makes the hand Worth a try. North a hand is obviously Good enough to accept. The defenders started with two rounds of hearts before switching to dubs. Declarer won in hand with the Ace and led the Queen of Trumps covered by the King and taken with the Ace. South continued with a Trump to the ten. When West Dis carded a heart the contract was doomed Declarer still had to lose a Trump and a Diamond for Down one. Everything seems perfectly Normal. Except or the 4-1 Trump distribution the contract would have coasted Home since the King of Spades was onside. However Declarer did make a Subtle error one that you Are unlikely to find in any Basic Bridge text. Suppose that at trick four Declarer had led the ten of Trumps rather than the Queen. It would be difficult for West to cover with the King from any Trump length so when the Monarch appears it is a reasonable Assumption it is a Singleton. After winning the Ace Declarer leads the seven from Dummy and if East plays Low runs it if East covers Declarer wins and returns to Dummy to repeat the finesse thereby avoiding losing a Trump trick. Here a a tip that will earn you thousands of Points Over the years if you want your opponent to cover Lead the top card of a sequence. If you done to Lead the lowest of the sequence. Q. A As South vulnerable you hold a void 9aq952 0j0 4aq10432 what is your opening bid selecting your opening bid always consider what your rebid is going to be. If you open one club partners Likely response is one Spade and that could result in your losing the heart suit. The principle of preparedness suggests that one heart might the More prudent course despite the fact the clubs Are longer.

However since the suit is Spades and the whole one level has been taken away we would remove to one no Trump without giving the matter a second thought. Partner should take into account that we Are bidding under pressure. Q. A both vulnerable As South you hold �T�k1054 9j82 0975 #873 the bidding has proceeded West North East South 1 # dbl pass 7 what do you bid now have already seen that this hand is too weak to respond one no Trump. Partner has asked us to bid our Best suit and since we have nothing better than a three Carder we must oblige by bidding two clubs. Bidding the cheapest suit will give our Side the maximum room to find the Best contract. Q.
