South didn't actually say all this, to be sure, but that's what he thought, Nobody bothered to record his actual words, which may be just as well. Instead of thinking about his bad luck. however, South should have been thinking about his bad play. He should have made his contract.

South should see that both' finesses may fail, and that the enemy will establish and cash a club trick if they are given the time to do so. In order to pre- vent this, South must establish dummy's spades and discard his losing club.

The right line of play is win the first trick with the king of clubs and lead a spade to the

take the ace of spades and lead another club, but dummy wins. with the ace of clubs and cashes the spades at once so that South can discard his last club.

Only then can South afford to try the finesses in the two red to be suits. Both finesses fall, sure, but South still makes his game contract.
