SouILh's decision to bid three no- trutmp Instead of four spades was certainly surprising

West opened the three of hearts, and South made the ecocellentt play of the jack from dummy. If he had played the deuce, East could have put on the ten and, if permitted to hold the trick, could lead a low heart to maintain communications with partner, but when the heart jack was played. East had to win with the ace is keep deolarer from getting two tricks in the suit. Then. on Eastis return of a heart, South could duck and in that way break the defenders ccmmunication In the heart suit itself.

After winning the third round of hearts. South led the club ten. when Wear covered. dummy won with the ace and retm-ned the club jack. setting up another sure club trick in dummvy. If the diamond suit had broken, the con- tract would havp been In clear sigiht, but misfortune overlook the declare-r and he had to concede de- feat. At the other table something truly extraordtlntary happened - 1 master player left his partner In I we bid! The bidding went:
