good five card major suit and a weak doubleton however it would be better if north had respon ded one no trump south would raise to two which would become the final con tract at two hearts declarer is in danger of losing two trump two clubs and one each in spades and diamonds west leads his diamond ten which rides to declarers ace two tounds of trump are taken and declare should take stock what about a spade finesse lets suppose that it wins so what you still have a spade loser only if east has the king and west has spec ifically the tennine of spades can you gain a trick thats asking too much declarer should lead a third rounds of trump are taken east has to win the trick east ennnot lead diamonds without giving up tricks so he tries tlhe spade suit declarer finesses not to win a trick hut to set up dummys spade suit west should duck the spade but declarer should not be fooled he should continue with the spade ace and a small spade this sets up dummys jack when west leads a diamond declarer should reject the fin esse and play the king the 13th spade in dummy provides a parking space for the diam ond loser in all declarer loses two trump one spade and two clubs dont finesse just be cause you can if you take a finesse have a good reason last weeks winners at the acton bridge club were first mrs catherine coats and pat jeffares second cam sinclair and art norris
