If North elects a mere three heart rebid, South can go game If West leads a spade, South's problem is considerably simplified. A better out is the ace and then a small trump. But if West is really keen to set the contract, he may figure he needs two trump tricks, the ace and a club ruff. Thus he may make the unorthodox out of the club eight.

East must play the knave. And the scheme works against a sleepy South.

Swartz and Mrs any of South' spots should be treated as the knave for finessing purposes. Note South can well afford two club losers. In rubber bridge, he would likely board the club ten and go up with the queen if West plays low. Or he would lead low from dummy and let the even ride This line here would lose two tricks. And it's quite a normal play.

Mrs. Carson made It in addition to correct trump approach. If, however, South is in need of a top, he may elect to play the suit in a different way from what he thinks the field willtake. Then he would take a deep finesse through West. Here this maneuver would work to bring in six-odd and all North-South points.

Two Souths just managed to bring in the game contract. One somehow tossed it down the drain, giving top defense to Mrs. O. Kirby and the writer. Mrs.

We have it in colors that make it a delight to pick your favorite. When you see this magnificent broadloom you may ask, "Will such luxury wear well?" Our answer is yes, but that's the other side of the story! Against South in hearts, West's best opening is a trump. Dummy ducks, East wins and South carefully plays the seven, saving the deuce possible to enter dummy with a small one on a later round. East returns the nine.

East must cover either this or the. next round. When the knave drops, South ruffs, cashes the spade ace and ruffs a spade to enter dummy for the diamond (or diamonds). Thus South gets rid of one small spade and the club six. The finesse of the club knave loses to West's ace.

But South takes nine tricks. His losers: one in each suit. This suit establishment play is far superior to a frantic cross-ruff effort which will not succeed here.

The first rule is that you never bid Blackwood unless you intend to bid a slam if your side holds three or more aces. The second rule" which really is a part of the first is that you don't use Blackwood any time you have a worthless doubleton in a suit that your partner had not bid.

South could have reached the slam if he had first bid four clubs and then five hearts. This would have told North to bid six if he could handle the second spade lead and North would have obliged.
