then properly returned the king of spades. It was vital to re- duce chummy's ruffing power.

Declarer won with the ace of spades and proceeded to cross- ruff hearts and clubs. That is, he ruffed a heart in dummy, returned by ruffing a club his hand, raffed another heart in dummy, and led another club towards his hand.

Эл

East saw that he couldn't gain by ruffing, so he discarded a dia-

mond, und South ruffed.

When South next led another heart, West had to follow suit with the ace and dumany ruffed with its last trump. East now made the fatal mistake of over- ruffing with his queen of trumps.

South could easily ruft the diamond return, lead the eight of spades to draw West's Just trump, and cash the last heart as his ninth trick,

If East had refused to over- ruff, South would have lost the contract. With three cards in each hand, South would have needed two more tricks. He would have to lead a club from dummy and ruft with one of his two trumps.

If he then led his last trump, East would take the last two tricks. 11 South instead led his last heart, West would ruff; and

• East would make the final trick with the high trump.
