Now, we can immediately HсC that the important part of this hand is not high cards, but proper handling of low cards.
After winning the first trick in dummy with the jack of clubs, the deuce of hearis was. played, South winning the trick with the queen. He then led the king of apades, hoping that East or West would win the trick with the ace And thereby give him an entry card. East refused to win the trick.
Of course, South could not con. tinue with a spade, so the only hope he had was that the three remaining hearts against him were not all bunched in the same hand. The next play was the king of hearts. Wost played the ten and East won the trick with the ace.
East returned · a club. which South won with the king, and then the nine of hearts was played. You will notice that Southcon- served his six of hearts. A small TO MARSEILLES via Salgonheart was played from dummy and Singapore, Colombo, Djiboultet. | East was forced to win with the (Aden), Suds, Port-Said.
