The declarer has three losing clubs-then the contract is defeat- clubs and a losing spade. How- ever, West has bid spades and that practically marke him with the king. Due to his vulnerable over- call, he undoubtedly has the ace of clubs.
The only chance the declarer has is to execute an end play. There- fore, he leads a smail club and if West is careless and plays the ten of clubs, he is fixed, because even if East overtakes with the queen and leads a spade, the declarer will win with the ace and return clab,
West will be forced to win with his ace and then cash his king of spadea, but he will then have to lead another spade, upon which the declarer ean diseard a losing club.
Today's Contract Problem South is in a four-pade contract West cashes the first three clubs and
then loade the queon of diamonds. 110w should declaror pro- cood to play the hond to mako Als contract?
