The Play
46-5-2
It is West's opening lead. Again we find a four-card major and a four-card minor suit. Kowever,! we hesitate to lead away from an ace-queen combination if we have anoter suit that is equally as good, therefore the best opening with this hand is the fourth best dia- mond-the seven.
When East plays. the king, the declarer must not hold up be- cause East will be in the lead, and, if he should shift to hearts the declarer will be sure to lose his contract.
H
He should go right up with the! ace of diamonds and then lead a small apade, winning in duramy with the king. He now leads his queen of clubs from "dummy, tak- ing the finesse, playing. the nine spot from his own hand, creating the eight as an entry into dummy in case it is needed..
West wins the trick with the king, but must not cash his queen and jack of diamonds be cause that would set up the ten ii dummy.
If West, shifts and leads his fourth best heart-the four-the declarer will win with the king, run off his good clubs and spades, losing two tricks at the end, but making four ne trump.
no
When playing a hand at trump, one must be more careful than when playing at a suit dec- laration because it is not possible to ruff off any of the opponent': long cards. If they establish suit you must be careful not let them get into the lead.
