The Play
East's opening lead was the king of clubs which North, the declaror, won with the ace. Remember the first rule when playing a four-card auit is to establish the side suit.
The side suit in this hand is spades-but you do not establish the side sult if you are not afraid of exhausting your trumps by ruf- fing, and in this case you have only one club in cach hand. Therefore, if the opponents try to force you to ruff, you will be able to trump in cne hand and discard in the other.
Therefore, instead of starting your spade suit, you should im- mediately lead your hearts.
If you lead a spade, East will win with the ace and return a apade. Then, if you lead a trump, West will win with the ace. He will return a club back to East. Another spade will be led and West will trump and your contract will be defeated.
