He looked far Icas pleased when East failed to follow sult, discarding u diamond, but there was sill a good chance for the con- tract, After cashing the two top trumps declarer laid down the heurt ace, led to the heart queen then back to the heart king. Obviously, he intended to stake everything un he club finesse. West, however, ruffed the heart king and exiled with a diamond, and later the club fnesse lost. Down one!
Beyond question, South encounter- ed a series of bud breaks, but if he had anticipated the worst and pre- pared for it, these breaks would have praved inconsequential. As a matter of pure technique the right second phy (after taking the diamend ace) was to ruff a diamond. An over-ruff.
West was unthinkable-East carcely could have held an eight- card dininond sult without bidding il, non-vulnerable, at any time.
After ruffing this diamond it would be natural to lay down the trump king, and when the "bad news" came, South should also cash the space ace. Then it would be completely logical o go to the heart queen and ruft dummy's last diwnond, before laying down the see and king of hearts. I West chose to ruff, let him--he would have to lead a club up to the A-Q. If he didn't ruff, he would be throwi in with the spade queen, for the Game result.
