The safety play is dangerous only If West has led a singleton diamond. (there is no danger f he has led a doubleton) and if West has exactly three trumps headed by the ten or by the queen.

Failure to use the safety play loses If West has Q-10-x-x of spades, regardless of what West has in diamonds. The question is; which danger la morë prob- able?

The expert would assume that the 4-1 trump break is more probable. And he would lose his slam most scientifically. The average player would not. worry about such fine points, and he would make his slam most com- fortably.

Who would trade comfort for science?
