South could have made his contract
if he hadn't been in
the such n hurry to discard Josing diamond from the dum- my. The correct line of play is to win the ace of diamonds at the second trick, take the ace of hearts and ruff a heart im- mediately, cash both of dum- my's top trumps, and ruff an- other heart.
Now South loads a club, to dummy's ace and ruffs a low
heart for the third time, Only at this point con South afford to cash the queen of clubs and discard the losing diamond from dummy. This is declarer's ninth trick. He ruffs a diamond in dummy, and that ruff gives him his tenth trick.
