West was stuck for a bid at his second turn. He tried to show his extra values by dou-bling, not everyone’s choice, but North was not deterred and drove to game with his fine hand. South had over-called on such meager val-ues that the contract was far from cold, despite the good dummy.
West shifted to his single-ton spade at trick two, won in dummy with the ace. South ruffed a diamond, then cashed three rounds of hearts ending in dummy. Another diamond was ruffed, and declarer continued with a low club toward the king in dummy. West was forced to duck his ace, playing the 10, and dummy’s king won the trick.
South knew from the play so far that West had started with either 2-3-4-4 or 1-3-4-5 distribution. He cashed the king of spades, West shed-ding a club, and continued with dummy’s last diamond. Instead of ruffing, he discard-ed his remaining spade. West won his king of diamonds, but was forced to play clubs, giving South the queen of clubs for his tenth trick. Well
done, or was it?The defense could have
prevailed. South erred by cashing the king of spades. West was l ikely to have opened one diamond with 4-4 in the minors and South should have played him for 1-3-4-5 distribution. Cashing the king of spades gave West a chance to jettison his king of diamonds, avoiding the endplay. These were sub-tle errors by both West and South. Would you have done better? Yes, I thought so.
