club tricks. If West has four clubs, however, can anything be done?
"There is hope it East's single- ton happens to be the eight or the pine. In that case, I must begin by leading the ten ol clubs."
Hence the expert wins the first trick in his own hand with the king of spades and promptly leads ten of clubs. West must cover with the jack, and dummy wins with the king. When East drops the eight, South's course is clear. He returns the deuce of clubs from dummy and plays the seven of clubs from his own hond.
West can win this second club trick with the sine, but now his remaining clubs are the queen and the Ave, with the ace and the six in the dummy behind him. South can easily regain the lead to take a club Anette and thus bring in the rest of the suit,
