Lesson
South was enjoying his nice hand when North opened 1H. With slam in mind, South jump-shifted to 2S and forced the bidding to the seven level. Bidding seven was the easy part. Now South has to make it. West led the jack of clubs, which gave South a free trick, although it was one he could always have gotten if he needed it. East played the king and South the ace. What now? What did happen was that South drew trump and tackled the hearts. He led to the ace and trumped a heart, East showing out. When the suit was divided 4-1, there was no way to make the slam and South finished with twelve tricks. Question: Was South just unlucky or should he have made?
