CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
Solution to Previous Contract Problem
When the first trick can be won In either hand, don't become care- less and think that it makes no difference simply because you have entries in both hands. You may have a fincase to taka, and, <ir it falls, the other opponent may start a new suit, which might spell defeat for your contract.
Decide carefully where to win the first trick-not only from the viewpoint of entries, but from the angle on to whether you wish your opponents to continue the suit or switch to another.
Miss Charlotto Sldway, recog. nized as the outstanding woman bridge player of Buffalo, showed by such play how she made three no trump in a recent duplicate game in that city,

trick be won-in dummy with the king, or in declarer's hand with the nec?
Miss Sidway could see that she would have to take a heart finesse, If it falled, East would be in the lead. She saw that the danger of the hand lay in the fact that East might shift to a diamond. There fore, she won the first trick in dummy with the king, in the hope that East would not break a new suit.
A small spade was returned and won by Misa Sidway with the ace. The queen of hearts was played and the finesse taken. East winning with the king.
If the first trick had been won by Miss Sidway with the nce, East undoubtedly would have shifted to a diamond, but with only two small clubs in dummy, and with the possibility that his partner had opened a five-card suit;-East_felt. obliged, to return his partner's suit and led the jack of clubs, which Miss Sidway with the ace.
Won
A small spade was led and West went in with the king, but all that he could do was to cash his queen and nine of clubs.
If East had shifted to a diamond, the contract would have been de feated.
Today's Contract Problem
Today's hand is practically a double dummy problem. South, the decfärer, has the 'contract for six hearts. West opens the king of clubs. Сан you Agure out the solution against the heut possible de fense?
