BRIDGE

BY STEVE BECKER

This deal occurred many years

ago in a national pair champi-

onship. The South player who

bid the hand as shown certainly

vindicated his optimistic leap to

slam by a rather ingenious suc-

cession of plays.

When dummy came down,

South saw the slam was in the

bag if he could avoid losing two

club tricks. Looking at all four

hands, it is easy to see that the

winning play is to lead a club to-

ward dummy at some point and,

if West follows low, play the king.

But with the East-West hands

concealed, how to play the clubs

is essentially a toss-up. If West

has the queen and East the ace,

the winning play is to lead to

dummy’s jack.

With this crucial guess loom-

ing on the horizon, South decid-

ed he could add to his chances by

laying a trap for West. After win-

ning the heart lead, he cashed

the A-K of trump and continued

with four rounds of diamonds,

carefully discarding dummy’s

last heart on his last diamond.

The heart discard did not in it-

self increase the number of tricks

declarer could take, but it plant-

ed the seed firmly in West’s mind

that South had started with two

hearts and that the heart discard

from dummy was vital.

Since declarer was known at

this point to have started with

six spades, four diamonds and

presumably two hearts, he could

have only one club. Consequent-

ly, when South next led the club

eight, West rushed up with the

ace, thereby relieving declarer

of the guess. The specter of los-

ing his ace and allowing South to

make seven had done West in.

When the hand was over and

West saw how he had been swin-

dled, he could not help but feel

admiration for the way South

had duped him, and congratu-

lated him on his line of play.
