Bridge To This Contract By WILLIAM E MCKENNEY

In a New York bridge session Life Masters debate a hand where West as declarer wins the opening diamond with the ace and cashes the spade ace then leads a spade to South in play. The question is what South should return after South wins with the king to avoid letting the declarer make the contract. The discussion emphasizes reading dummy and South’s perspective.

West to six spades and the ending trick

In a contract play, West must hold seven spades and the ace king ten to reach six spades, plus hearts and a diamond. The analysis explores why returning the king of diamonds is the only chance to defeat the contract and notes how the declarer could be constrained by distribution. The piece shifts to social etiquette advice on handling a boastful returning serviceman at gatherings.
