club and the losing heart. What to do?

SABOTAGE

IN U.S.A.

The first step was to abandon (Released by The Bell Syndi trumps in order to take care, ofcate, Inc.) the third heart in the South hand. East won the heart lead and re- turned a trump, South winning with the King of spades. South then led to the diamond Ace and ruffed a diamond, ruffed a heart in dummy, and ruffed another dia- mond. Then he cashed the Ace and King of clubs and ruffed dummy's last diamond with his fast trump.

At this point South had won ten tricks even though the opponents still had four winning cards. But the secret was that East was ob- liged to frump his partner's win- ning. clubs.
