The opening lead Is taken with the ace on the board. West next leads two round of trumps ending In the closed hand. West then leads a low club which North takes with the ace. North returns a small spade, West plays the jack from the dummy and South covers cov-ers with the ace which West trumps. West leads to the king of clubs in the dummy, sluffs a club on the king of spades, then leads a diamond to her hand which is good, easily making six. COMMENT: East and West - chose the wrong method of trying to reach slam. They should have stayed away from Blackwood simply sim-ply bid their aces and kings to each other and slam would have been reached. West was surprised to find the ace of diamonds and king of clubs in partner's hand, expecting ace of spades instead. |
