The first step was to abandon trumps in order to take care of 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 last trump.

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