When his spade Q won. he should have reckoned that South, already had one heart trick, was sure to get three in diamonds, certainly could take ane in spades and was bound tɔ have the club A. Totaling those would make six, and if West played so as to build another heart trick the declarer would have even for his contract
Reckoning that way would have shown West that the aly hope Jay in the club sult, It, he had returned a club then, the contract would have been set two with two in spades, three in clubs, two In hearts and · one in diamonda East for a better score than the not- vulnerable 4-Spades which ana pair made.
