V If one of your opponents - '"'! "responds with one of a major receives a single raise from the opener and jumps imme- ' diately to game it is highly likely that he has at least five cards in his major With only four he would be worried ' about a three-car- d raise and would not zoom straight past three The irritating dub lead has left declarer with four poten- tial losers: one heart one dia-mond and two clubs ! Probably he must play the ! trump suit without loss South should duck the first - Babe In Errandland at bridge cjub trick win foe second then immediately place the heart jack onto foe table Maybe West will make foe mistake of covering ending South's worries Perhaps West will fumble for a while then play low If he doeshe is marked with the heaijaueen However West should be ready playing low in tempo' as if he has never heard about a trump queen Then Surely declarer will call for dummy’s ' king and play a trump back toward hand planning to finesse the 10 if East plays a second low heart Here of course East shows out on the second round of trumps and the contract will foil Try to anticipate potential “guesses” and have your play ready when the critical momentarrives CNEA2003 North ' A 2 !
