You May then be Able to snip their Conur Iuni cations and mount a flanking attack to break through. Since North was a passed hand South gave up All thoughts of slam in favor of stealing As much of the enemy bidding apace As possible. The tactic worked perfectly when West judged that immediate intervention at such a High level was too dangerous and East pusillanimous by a old out a a must. South bought the hand when the opponents could have made a slam with the Hel of a finesse in chips. West led the King of diamonds and when Dummy appeared Declarer realized the hand could not be Defeated if East held the Ace of clubs. But what if West held the Aca in that Case Declarer would have to set up a Long Spade in Dummy for a club discard. Any straightforward attempt to pursue this line however ran an obvious risk should East gain the Lead in Spadea a club return through the King might prove fatal. Declarer found an elegant Way to Cut the enemy communications. When after winning the King of diamonds West continued with the Ace Declarer discarded a Spade instead of ruffing. West shifted to a Spade. Declarer won ruffed a Spade High then overtook the seven of hearts with the eight for another Spade ruffed High. The three of tramps was overtaken for a third Spada Ruff setting up a Long card in the suit. Since the carefully preserved Deuce of hearts could now be used to return to the table for a discard on the Long Spade Declarer lost Only two Diamond tricks and a club. A.
