Now let us stop to consider the hand from East's standpoint. His great fear is that he will be forced eventually to lead into that club tenace of dummy's. Therefore, his first move should be to get the aca. of diamonds out of his hand. His next move is to knock out dummy's aces.
Therefore, East should now re- turn heart. What heart should he play?
If he plays a small heart, the declarer will win with the ace, pick up the trump, ruff u`dia- mend, and throw him back into the lead by playing the Jack of hearts, forcing him to lead into the club tenace.
the
Now, if the declarer han king of hearts, he is not going to lose any heart tricks, so you should try to prevent an end play on your part and return the queen of hearts-not a small one. This will give you the chance of making a club and a heart, and with the two diamonds you already have in, it will defeat the contract,
