Alexander Nusinoff will be ane of the players to watch. He recently became a Life Master (the highest ranking given by the American Contract Bridge League) after only a few years of tournament play.
In the hand shown today, Nurkiof caine up with a defensive play that produced a fine score. Nusiaoft held the East hand, so keep your eye an that hand and see if you can spol the right play ahead of time,
West opened the lack of hearts, And Enit took the are. East returned the Dirce of diamonds, allowing West to take (wa trieks in that suit. West then returned a third (amend, and

Now Fee what happens if East Duits with the seven of spades Instead of with the king. South over-rule with the nine of spaties, enters dummy with a heart, and tends a low trum towards the ace jack. East has to ple" his klog, of course. and South car. draw three, rounds of trumps with the occ, Jack, and queen.
In short, South loses no trump trick when the hatid is ulayed that way, and he therefore makes his game contract.
