it would have were a mind reader, fooled him too. In other words, the would play of the diamond Queen have made South think that the Ace was in West's hand. If this were so, South would have to take his King. for, after all, it would be better to take one trick in the sult than none.

An old Bridge maxim states, "Never ner temporarily; but, unless South finesse against your partner." By this is meant that if partner leads a suit, you should play your highest card unless, of course, you hold a sequence of two or more honours or a tenace over dummy. While finessing against one's partner is considered the most heinous of Bridge crimes, here' is a hand where we could almost guaran- tee that South would have been set had East "sinned" in this manner.
