ZOO LICENCING ACT 1981 NOTICE OF INTENTION TO APPLY FOR A ZOO LICENCE (NEW ZOOS AND EXISTING ZOOS SUBJECT TO A DIRECTION UNDER S.6(1X(B) OF THE ACT 1.

we can happily let it stay that way. As 14 guaranteed a five card suit (and not much else it appears), North was correct to prefer 24 to a 1NT response. To these eyes, East has two choices now; pass or 39. The latter carries a degree of risk, but the suit quality prevent an easy double. However, he found the strange takeout double that wants to hear only one suit.

Also, his hand was wholly unsuitable to defend, should West opt for a penalty pass. Indeed he did, so on to the play. Be honest. What would you lead? As it appears that you are looking at five certain winners, isn't it normal to start with A and have a peek at dummy? That was West's view, but it was fatal. He switched to a heart, East taking the Knave and returning a trump to J.

A further heart was ruffed by declarer who led a diamond to West's King. Superficially, the defence had no cause for concern, but that was about to change. When continued with his last heart, South ruffed and took charge. He cashed three rounds of clubs, crucially finishing in hand, then he followed with reducing everyone to three cards, West having pKQ4. Declarer played his diamond, obliging West to ruff with an honour, but in so doing forced himself to lead into South's trump holding at the end.

Did you see how to defeat 24? West must lead a spade honour, draw dummy's trumps when in with and then switch to hearts.
