[blml] another Claim

[volker walther]

Maybee this one is easy:

Diamonds are Trump. At the three card ending declarer is in hand, holding

S:7,H:8,D:7  opposite H:KQJ

He now claims the rest of the tricks "it is all high"

First question:
Is it a "normal play" to play the S7 before crossing to Dummy?







In fact at this point of the game the S7 was  a high card too, but it
was a  card wich could have been played during a revoke that occured
earlier.

So here is the (second) question that I had to answer at the table:

1 or 2 penalty tricks?

I judged 2 tricks penalty, now I am in doubt.

The full hand was:


        AJ8
	KQJT
	963
	985
KZ52           96
A75            9643
Q              K54
AJT42          AJT
      Q743
      82
      AJT872
      Q

After a spade lead East West found a way to play two more rounds of
spades. West on lead played then his King of spades at last. It was
ruffed with the D9, overruffed   with the king and south "followed suit"
by playing his D2 instead of S7.
