One Declarer succeeded in making the no Trump game one did not. In our opinion neither found the Best line. West a two dub Overall showed the. Major suits. North s jump to three no Trump without a stopper in either major was a Well reasoned bid. Since South held Little or Noth ing in diamonds the no Trump opening almost surely included v v stoppers Hrh oth major suits. West Ted the fourth Best heart and Declarer could not come to nine tricks without developing one of the minors. At one table South decided West probably had the Ace of dubs to intervene so after winning the Queen of hearts with the King at trick two the King of dubs was led. East grabbed the Ace and reverted to hearts Down two. At the other table South chose to stake All on the Diamond suit. Here the Diamond ten was run at trick two and All was Well nine tricks came in. Both declares were on the right track. However they should have combined chances. We think Declarer should win the first trick and play on diamonds but by cashing the Ace King rather than banking everything on the finesse. If the Queen drops that s that. If her majesty does not appear Declarer Falls Back on clubs. The contract will make if West has the Ace because Declarer still has a positional stopper in a hearts. A a a a a.
