WEST looked pityingly at the
declarer. "My boy," he said sympathetically, *same day you'll learn how to count trumps."
The declarer, our old friend Generous George, murmured polite thanks. But he looked sur- prisingly pleased with himself for a man who had just forgot- ten how many trumps were out!
East won the opening spade lead with the ace and led back his low diamond. Generous George won the second trick with the ace of diamonds and then apparently overlooked the fact that there was another trump out against him.
Instead of drawing the last trump, George led to the ace of hearts, cashed the king of hearts, and then ruffed a low heart with the deuce of diamonds. West pounced on this trick with the ien of diamonds, pleased and surprised to win a trick with his "forgotten" trump.
Much to West's disgust, how- ever, George made Ave diamonds In spite of the poor way he had played the hand, it seemed very unfair to West that a player who 'didn't count trumps nevertheless held such good cards that he couldn't lose his contract.
After winning with his ten of diamonds. West led back the ten of clubs. Dummy 'put up the queen, East covered with the king, and George won with the ace. George then led the three of diamonds to dummy's seven and ruffed a low heart with the king of wumps.
THIS set up two low hearts in
TH
dummy, George then led the four of diamonds to dummy's eight and discarded his remain. ing clubs on the two established hearts (he had already discard- ed a low club on the king of hearts.) That left declarer with only good trumps in his hand.
West would not belleve you if you told him that George know all about the missing trump. And West would think you were crazy If you told him that his over-ruif had been a fatal play.
It George had two rounds of trumps, only one trump would have been left in dummy. But George needed two trump en- tries to dummy-one to ruir out East's last heart, and the other to
cash
the last two hearts in
dummy.
When West took a trick with
the ten of diamonds, he seemed to be getting a tricks for nothing. Actually, he made it possible for Generous Geo go to win two heart tricks in exchange, George is always willing to do business on the basis of two for him and ons for the enemy!
AL
If West had refused to over ruff (a very difficult decision, to be sure), George would have been set. He would eventually lose two clubs in addition to the apada trick taken by the de- fenders at the very beginning.
