BRIDGE BITES  #83

      

 

ESSENTIAL PRECAUTION

                                                                                   Brian Gunnell

 

♠ K

♥ J854

♦ J75

♣ AKQJ6

 

            Both Vulnerable

            South   West     North    East

            1♠         Pass    2♣         Pass

            2♥        Pass     4♥         Pass

            Pass    Pass

 

            N-S zip into 4♥, and West sensibly leads the unbid suit.

            After the defense has cashed three Diamonds, East exits

            a Spade and now the contract depends on Declarer picking

            up the trumps for no losers.

 

            Any thoughts?
