QUESTXONABLI-I SLAMS NEED GOOD PLAY

South's acceptance of his part- ner's slam invitation in the deal below was more amiable than sound, but his real mistake oc- curred in the play.

In "pure" Biackwood, North's four notrump bid would be conven- tional, asking for aces, but in many circles (including the highest) the direct raise of notrump to the four- level is only that - a slam invita- tion, of course, but in no sense forcing (or even one round. South said later that he had voluntarily gone on to the slam because, with three aces in his own hand he had Ieit that North must have great strength in kings and queens. This was a sound observation, but North had the kings and queens. and the slain contract was still question- able.

west opened the hop club. The ace won and a diamond was led to the queen. when West showed out, discarding a club. it was clear to South that only two diamond tricks could be counted on. East took his diamond ace and shiited to the heart seven. Declarer'n nine was covered by the ten. forcing the king, and declarer then cashed the spade king and tinessed for the spade queen. The jack held. but to no avail -- south was still one trick short or his contract, and the heart iinesse to the jack, which he eventually tried, let him down.

Even if the heart suit produced three tricks, South would still need the spade finesse. so he should have cashed all his clubs. his two diamond tricks and two top hearts. East would have to hold A high diamond over dummy, hence could keep no more than three spades. Thus, having cashed the spade king, a spade finesse at the tenth trick. instead of earlier. would let South run the rest of the suit, for fulfillment of the slam.
