CONTRACT

As soon as the opening lead is mado, a good declarer will count up his sure tricks and will then consider the best means of estab lishing the number of probable or doubtful tricks required to make his contract.

Sometimes It le necessary sacrifice a suro trick to assist in the development of the hand. This play is quite similar to the gam- bit in chess, where a pawn or plece is sacrificed to obtain advantages of position.
In the following hand, the do- clarer conceded a diamond trick to the opponents unnecessarily but they were obliged to pay dear- ly for it in the end.

HOW
South
opened witli trump. Most good players prefer that declaration even when holding a good five-card minor auit, providing the hand is well above average strength and has all four suits stopped.
West was warned by the orig- Ina ne trump. which he knew to be strong, and therefore passed. North bid two no trump, avoiding a bid of two diamonds, for that would indiente definite weakness and would show no desire to play for game. South closed the bid. ding with three no trump,
The Play,
West's correct opening lead was the ten of spades, which declarer won in his own hand with the jack. He could
now count, with reasonable certainty, three diamond tricks, four club tricks, one spade and at least one heart, providing East was never in the lead.
However, if that player were ever in. he would surely lead a spade through South's king, and the contract would be defeated.
The declarer'a frat objcet must be to establish the club suit, and if East should hold the king (twice guarded, two finesses would be necessary. Accordingly the jack of diamonds was led and overtaken by the queen in dum- my.
"A small club was returned and the nosse taken. This could be done with safety, for even though West held the iding of clubs, a spade lead from that side roukt do little damage.
When the finesse held, South led the king of diamonds, again overtaking in dummy, and by taking a second finesse, ran off his four remaining clubs. West was obliged to discard two spades and a diamond.
South's next lead was the king of spades, which West won with the ace and eashed the queen of that suit.
After laying down the ten of diamonds, which had been so graciously established for him, he was obliged to lead into South's heart tonace, and the declarer made four no trump.
