This mishap was really South's fault. although he can hardly be blnmecl for‘ thinking that he had ‘been rather unfortunate. South should have allowed his pas-trier to plnv the hand at three notrump: for no possible misfortune could have wrecked chat contract.

when North bid three notrump he promised a stopper in the unbtd suit-hearts. Since South could con- tribute an additional stopper. in thp form of the heart ace. there was no need to worry about a. rlﬂttzcrous suit.

In other words. South might b¢ at the mercy of a bad trump break if he played the hand at spades but. North would have two other suits to fall book on if thc hand were played at nolrump. Moreover. the danger of a defensive cross-ruff does not exist at notrump. For all these rea- sons. South should have allowed his partner to play the hand at three notrump instead of inslstitik cn a
