HAL SIMS. Bidding and Opening Lead. ET it be understood that despite my eulogies of the short-suit opening against a no-trump contract, I am not averse to opening my long suit. The declarer may have a perfectly sound bid with K, J, x in the suit in which I hold A, Q, 10, x, x; yet in order to make his bid he must set up a six-card suit on the table, in which my partner holds & quick stopper. If I don’t open my suit, my partner and I might as well give up all hopes of setting the con- tract. £ In today's hand, however, those players who opened mechanically, de- spite the highly illuminative bidding, had the dubious pleasure of seeing North make six no trumps. Never, in the wide world, would I lead a spade. South Dealer.

This makes it more difficult for East. East doesn’t know whether North has the holding described or not, but he still should not lead a spade. In the first place, West must hold the ten-nine of the suit. In the second place, if West has the queen of clubs, doubleton, or the queen of diamonds, third, he can be kept out of the lead easily enough. With diamonds being supported, however, East’s problem is consider- ably simplified. East knows that North has what he hopes: will prove to be stoppers in the two major suits. The spade stopper can be the king only. But, providéd it is doubleton, North is due for an unpleasant surprise if East can put West in the lead at once. The suit to accomplish this delicate and important task is marked hearts. East selected the four-spot of the suit to lead, déciding that that card would be least apt to deceive West. ‘West went right in with the ace and shifted to the eight of spades. As s re- sult of this planned defense the de- clarer went down two tricks. The other Norths cashed five clubs, six diamonds and a spade, making six no trumps. (Copyright. 1935.)
