North, naturally, assumed that his king-four would be ample support for his partner's rebid spade suit, and South could hardly be expected 14 ton. West chose a fine opening. a small | diamond. But after East won with | |the ace and returned the suit, West | remarked, “Well, my opening lead | saved the slam.” This foolish remark served to inform declarer that West hold much in the way was ruffed in dummy, the king of spades | played, and after entering his hand | with the queen of clubs, declarer | laid down the ace. When West's | jack dropped, declerer realized that East held the queer-nine. Hence, his only hope was a coup. He played the ace and king of | hearts, then frumped a heart and | returned to dummy’s king of clubs. The rest was simple.
