The Play
West's opening lead was the king of spades which South trump. ed with a small diamond. He then led a small club and West went in with the queen.
of
West decided that he would try to prevent clubs from being ruffed in dummy, so he led his ace of din- monds and then the ten diamonds. Declarer won the trick with the queen and then ruffed the. jack of clubs în dummy with the king of diamonds. ·
He-then-led-n-heart-and-grant- ed his opponents two heart tricks, spreading his hand for the rest of the tricks and making three dia monds doubled on a hand in which his opponents held four aces and three kings.
It is true that the hand could have been defeated if East had 'over- taken his partner's queen of clubs with the king and then led his ace ́and a small heart. West could have won the heart trick with the king and then returned a heart, giving East a ruff.
However, even that would have been a good score for North and South, as East and West could casily make a small slam in clubs.
