In this deal, though, declarer, in seven spades, has three choices at trick one after West leads KIT‘N’ CARLYLE BY LARRY WRIGHT HERMAN BY JIM UNGER the heart king. What are they, and which should he select? This was a difficult bidding deal. South made what sounded to his partner like a help-suit game-try. North, holding excel- lent diamonds and four spades, jumped to game. Then South, out of ideas, used Blackwood with a void and fi nally guessed well to bid seven spades. (Users of text- book Roman Key Card Blackwood would have known that North had the diamond king, not the club king.) The natural reaction is immediately to discard declarer’s club loser on dummy’s heart ace. But if South does that with this layout, he goes down one, falling foul to the unlucky 4-0 diamond break. There are two other trick-one choices. Declarer can discard a diamond on the heart ace. Then, after drawing trumps, South can play three rounds of diamonds, ruff a diamond in his hand, return to dummy with a trump, and pitch his club loser on the 13th diamond.
