If West leads a low club at the second trick, for example, de- clarer must put up dumuny's ace,

South then knocks out the ace of trumps. West's best de- fence to lead another club to his partner's king. East shifts back to spades, of course, but South can put up the ace of apades, draw the last trump, and enter dummy with a diamond to discard the jack of spades on dummy'n queen of clubs.

South loses u spade, a trump, and, a'club, ranking his contract.

South would lose the contract If he made the mistake of win- -ning the first trick with the ace of spades. When East later got the lead with the king of clubs, he would return a spade, and West would be able to take two spude tricks at once. The de fenders would thus get a club, 4 trump, and two spades, defeat- ing the contract.
