South could furnish nine fast tricks, provided thst his partner could stop the blsck suits. I would surely take this risk with a reasonsbly reliable partner but I would take a xhance bn five diamond If my partner were unreliable.

For all I know, this may be another way of saving that you bid fir diamonds If you can think of an excuse to do so. Nobody likes to put an eight card suit down on the table. When the hand was actually played. South bid five diamonds without the slightest hesitation. West opened the ten of hearts.

and South won with the ace. South then drew one round of trumps and wondered what to do about trying for an eleventh trick. He could be sure of ten trick in the red suits, but he needed one of the black kings to make his game. If you were playing this hand and couldn't see the East West cards, how would you go about trying for a black klngT. Would vou try first for the clubs or for the (pades? IF YOU GO after th clubs first and If East hss the ace.

the opponents will be In position to take two clubs and the ace of spades Immediately. If you try tor a spsde trick first and fall to It the opponents cannot de eat you Immediately; atr worst you will still be able to lead a rlub towards dummy's king In the hope of finding the ace In the west band.

Even If East hsd held both the ace and queen of spades. South would hsve msde the contract East would hsve been obliged to return a black card. If he led clubs, dummy's king would win a iriCK.

If Esst led the ace of spades. South could ruff and get to dummy with a trump in order to discard on the king of spades. If East led a low spade.
