MANY beginners at contract say have learned how to with but
I do not seem to be able to master- the piny of the hand."
The most important lesson to learn in the play Is to count your iricks. After you have learned that, one of the first plays you will be able to master is the endplay situation.
Today's hand gives the simplest 1 form of the strip and endplay. Declarer wins the opening lead of the jack of hearts with the king.
Now we will look over the fa- Hon. We unquestionably have heart laser. If we can guess where the queen of diamonds ls, we will have no diamond losers, but if we guess wrong we will go down on the contract needlessly.
Here is the procedure for a strip and endplay. Take two rounds of trumps, which pick up the outstand- ing trumps. Cash the ace and king
of clubs, thus eliminating clubs from the North nud South hands. Now cash the ace of hearts and lend the four of hearts, and you do not care who wins it because, either Enst or West will have to lead back dia- mond.
If East wins and leafis the dia- mond deure, South plays the eight- spot and West has to put on the nine or queen. That gives declarer three diamond trieks. If West is in the lend, he must lead up to the ace-jack of diamonds.
As I said above, this is a trip and endpiny. You strip the North and South bands of hearts and cluba so that if East or West clects to lead a heart or a club instead of a dia- mond, you can discard, a diamond from one hand and trump in the other, and be able to trump the third diamond.
