We all admire the player who is clever and is willing to gamble. flambure In this example Mayer says, "The declarer's wenknnas is in trumps." You will notice that if the declarer tried to ruff out the hearts, the contract would be defeated.
Of course, the contract can be defeated, double dummy, but let's look over the line of play as given by Mayer and nec if you do not think that it would win against the majority of players,
When the ace of hearts is opened, the declarer ruffs in dummy with the three of spades. Now, instead' of trying to return to his hand to raff the hearts, he leads a small spade. South will split his honours, and play the jack, and it will hold the trick,
If South will return the king of hearts, be can defeat the contract, but this does not look like the natural thing to do. The play that you probably would get is the nce and a smail club, West winning the second trick with the king.
Now West leads a small spade. winning in dummy with the ace and catching - North's king. Then he leads diamonds until South trumps with the good queen of spades.
As South hasn't any more clubs to lead, he must lead a heart, which the declarer can ruff in dummy and the rest of the tricks are his.
Today's Contract Problem
South is playing The con- Tract at four spades, Top on the board is five nd0. How would you play the hard to mak, ?
