East could have saved the game by refusing to win the diamond finesse with his Queen; but, as it happened, he took the Queen and returned that spade King. South won and boldly took another dia-] mond finesse. When that held, he took the rest of the diamonds.

He knew an other club would be fatal, so he parted with the Jack of spades. Thereupon, South discarded third low club and led a spade from dummy. East made the spade Queen,' but South* took the| rest.
