West leads a spade against 3NT. Declarer puts up

dummy’s jack and follows with a sneaky 10 from his hand.

Dummy leads a heart: four, jack, king. What shouldWest

do next?

If Southhas the bare king of spades left, West can lay

down his ace. Otherwise, he must hope East can get in for

a spade return.

West must rely on defensivesignals. On the first spade

East plays the eight, a “count” signal to show aneven num-

ber of spades. Defenders normally signal “attitude” first —

they encourage or discourage — but hereEast’s “attitude”

is evident when he can’t beat the jack, so “count” applies.

(Also, East’s four of hearts atTrick Two showed an odd

number: five, presumably.)

West can see that South is short of nine tricks unless he

hastheaceofclubs.IfWestreturnsasafeheart,Eastwill

get in with the ace of clubs later and lead a spade for down

at least one.

DAILY QUESTIONYou hold:♠A Q 7 6 3♥♥K 2♦♦8 7♣J 8

4 2. Your partner opens one heart, you respond one spade

and he bidstwo diamonds.The opponents pass. What do

you say?

ANSWER:This case is close. If your jack of clubs were the

queen, you would definitely have enough strength to invite

game and would try 2NT. If partner had anythingextra,

he would bid again.As it is, your hand is borderline for a

game invitation. I would settle for a conservative return to

two hearts.
