After Sequence (2) East should beware: N/S are in the wrong contract. Maybe they belong in spades, perhaps even 4S. East is too strong in their suit and should pass with both Hands A and B. ——————————————————————————————————2/5—— Television Index 410 TO LIST YOUR EVENTS CALL 01734 351052 PLEASE GIVE AT LEAST A MONTH'S NOTICE Your Life Fun & Games Digitisjt GroovesP479 Teletext 479 May26 08:28:47 —————————— —— BRIDGE PLAY TECHNIQUE - Derek Remington S A 8 S K Q 9 2 H K J 8 6 W E H 7 3 D A 10 9 6 5 D 8 2 C 3 2 C A Q J 10 5 West North East South 1D NO 2C NO 2D NO 2S NO 2NT NO 3NT End North leads the H4 which South wins with the HA.
