Sometimes in the play of a hand the Declarer may find that while he seems to have a sufficient number of tricks, actually he can't get at them because of a lack of re-entries. For example, in to-day's hand South, in order to be able to enter dummy twice, had to "kill" one of his owning tricks. tricks.
