The Second Suit


In the above deal, West’s bid of two clubs was the ‘landy’ convention, showing length in both major suits. West might have made two hearts, so north-south tried 3NT. When West led the ♥K, East played the deuce and south ducked. Now he was left with the ♥A-J. West shifted to a club, south won, lost a diamond finesse to East, won the heart return, and claimed with four club tricks, four diamonds and a heart. West forgot he had the second suit his bid had shown. He defeats 3NT if he shifts to a spade at the second trick — and to the Queen. If south takes the ♠K and leads a club to his hand and loses the diamond finesse, East can return a spade through south’s Jack, letting West cash three spades. If instead south let ♠Q win, West continues with a low spade and the result is the same, down one.
