There was no need for South
to be so tricity ubout the play of the hand. After drawing "two rounds of trumps he should
have led a low diamond towards dummy's jack. This would as- sure the slam if West held the queen.
West would take the queen of diamonds, and dummy would win the next diamond with the Jock. Later, South would cush the ace and king of diamonds, discarding two low henris from the dummy. The rest would, of course, be easy.
