Now if the dia- mond is played; he can ruff in. either hand and discard a club. But he will still be left with three clubs. Therefore, unless South's club holding includes the Queen as well as the Ace (in which ovent nothing can be done), the proper play by West is a diamond.

How would you have made out as the West defender on this and the two preceding hands, which made a difference of approximately 3,500 points?
