with my Ace. Then I led the Queen of diamonds, West covered with the King, and I pulled the colossal blunder of winning with dummy's Ace! That was the temptation I mentioned before: when you lead the Queen for a finesse, and the next player puts up the King, you need absolutely iron will to avoid smacking down the Ace with a howl of triumph.

"I don't suppose I have to tell you much more. The clubs were sour, and West promptly shifted to spades. I made the four Aces and the Jack of diamonds for a two-trick set. ... all because I couldn't resist temptation!"

An amusing tale, but it has a sound moral. The player who can resist anything but temptation doesn't get very far at Bridge. Ducking the first diamond trick would produce four instead of only two tricks in the suit.
