LAST WEEK’S PROBLEM.
(a) The bidding has been: South (dealer), IN.T.; West, 2 Diamonds; North 2 N.T. West holds: S: 9; H: Q-10-3; D: A-Q-10-8-6; C: K-J-9-2. English practice would be to lead the 8 of Diamonds, but the Americans would lead the singleton Spade to throw the lead, and wait for the Diamond lead to come. (b) Game all; Love all. Z deals and holds. S: Q-J-9; H: 8-7-6; D: K-IO; C: K-Q-10-9-5. One Club. He holds 2} Honour Tricks and a biddable suit. (c) N-S one game, no score. South calls One No-Trump; West and North pass. East holds. S: 8-3; H: K-7-4; D: A-J-10-5-3; C: 8-5-2. Bid Two Diamonds, as a defensive measure. He may induce South to shift.
