Bridge writers are always writing about hands that could have been made if only declarer had played a certain way or could have been defeated if the defence had only led a certain card Too often we over look the hands that really cannot be made but declarer must try to make the contract anyway Hie opponents can only see their own hand and dummy Often declarers task is simply to have them make a mistake early enough to give declarer his contract Here is just such a hand played last week at the Acton Bridge Club North dealt with North South vulnerable A 10 A EAST S S II A 6 J congregation is

PASS PASS PASS PASS PASS S Opening lead five of diamonds North has a routine one no trump opening bid Over it South chose to use Stayman This is perfectly safe since North cannot pass When North shows no four card major South forced with three spades If North persisted in no trump South would correct to four spades Pinpointed Norths bid of four spades must show a three card suit to an honor Over clubs he denied a four card suit and over three spades he would bid 3 no trump with a Having pinpointed the spade support South proceeded directly to sue spades After the diamond lead and dummy is spread declarer takes stock Prospects are not good with both a heart and a club loser likely The best chance is to let the defense make a mistake Declarer should duck the first diamond and ruff in his hand Spade led A spade is led to dummys king and a low heart returned What would East do South is void in diamonds having ruffed the first trick Can South be short in hearts as well It does not seem likely I am sure that most Easts would duck keeping heart ace for the king in dummy Home free Now declarer is home free Dummy is reentered with a trump and declarers last heart can be discarded on the diamond ace Now declarer can lose a club and still make 12 tricks Last weeks winners at the Acton Bridge Club werer first Gloria Coats and Bart Fisher second Ivan Hams and Tom Manes third Kay Campbell
