With 41/a honour tricks and 9 play- ing tricks in support. of North's spade bid, the only question with South was whether the contract should be a small or a grand slam. The Blackwood con- vention revealed a missing ace, and avoided the possibility of an ,u makable grand slam contract. On the bidding East made his nat- ural lead, the nine of spades. Declarer won this trick in dummy and immed- iately led the ten of clubs.,sThe scheme he had in mind depended on West hav- ing the ace of clubs, which was the case. Put yoUrself in West's place. A glance at dummy shows that the only chance to defeat the contract is to win two club tricks, and that chance will be very remote indeed if he covers the ten with his ace. At any rate, West did not play his ace, in consequence of which .North won thirteen tricks, and with them a top duplicate score. One of the thrills of bridge is to suc- cessfully perpetrate a hoax on the op- ponents. There is that much mischiev- ousness in most people, and very few bridge •playeis would be found among the exceptions. L G.
