West opened the Jack of clubs, and South won with the Queen. The next step was to lead the Queen of hearts for ZEMRAKE VALUE
a finesse; and East QUAĄCESĮ BYSTEN very cleverly re-
fused to win the TACE
trick, South then. led the six of, QUEEN 1 hearts, hoping to
win a finesse with the ten of hearts and, thus gain two entries, to dummy;
but East took that; trick since. his half-off had been designed just to llimit dummy, to one entry.
East then returned, a heart, and there. South was in the dummy, with the contract depending on bringing, in all, four spade tricks, The contract also depended on leading the right spade. Can you pick, the right card before you read on?
South, correctly led the nine of spades from the dummy! East naturally played low, and so did South. Next the Queen of spades was led, and once again East and South played low. The lead was still in the dummy, so a third. finesse could be. taken and South made his slam contract,
Just for the fun of it, see, what happens if the Queen of spades is led, for the first finesse. If South plays low, he is forced to win the second spade and no more inesses can be taken, since dum- my is entryless. And if South throws the ten under dummy's
