The band, however, can be made In the following manner. When West opens the six of clubs, the dummy wins the trick with thể ace, and the five of hearts is discarded at rim which will be quoted on by the declarer. The king of dia, monds is cashed from dummy, and then a small club is played and ruffed with the deuce of spades.
The seven of diamonds is led and ruffed in dummy with the three of spades. A small club is returned and ruffed with the five of spades.
Declarer then cashes the ace, king, and queen of hearts and fol- lows with the ace of diamonds. If West ruffs with the queen of spades, the declarer will over-ru with the king in dummy, and the dummy is good. If West ruffs with the eight of spades, the de clarer will over-ruff in dummy a.m.with the nine and then pick up
the trump.
