Solution to Previous Contract
Problem
The most difficult hand to play is that in which a player holds four trump and partner only three. In other words, you have only seven trump between you, leaving] six for the opponents.
If these outstanding trump are divided 8-3, you probably will not havo much trouble handling the situation. But with the trump divided 4-2 (and this is the way they generally pre) you are cun- fronted with a real problem, es pecially if you are short in one suit and the opponents give you opportunity to ruff that Bult.
Several days ago I told you that P. Hal Sima, acknowledged as the | world's greatest contract player, stated that the most important thing in contract is the timing factor, and I am going to advise. you always to keep that phrase foremost in your mind-the tim- ing factor.

However, North has heart, so why not throw a loseri on loser and keep the timing factor in your favour?
Therefore, North's correct play is to discard the douce of hearts.
