BRIDGE BITES  #29

      

 

TAKE FOUR

                                      Brian Gunnell

 

This week you are playing E-W, and as the problem is a tough one you get four attempts to beat the contract.  And you even get to see all four hands!

North’s Double showed the unbid suits.  She usually has four cards in the unbid major for that bid, but was stuck for a good alternative.  Anyway, South lands in 4, and you are on defense.  Can you beat this precarious contract?
