The Play
After North's bid of one space I would be inclined to open the nine of clubs. But when the hand was played, West elected to open his fourth best spade the six-- which South won with the nine.
A small club was won with dummy's king and a small club returned. East went in with the | Jack and South won with the ace.
A small club was returned, Weat dropped a diamond and Bast won with the queen. Enst exited from his hand with the soven of clubs to South's ten, West playing another diamond and North discarding heart.

Declarer then started the spade! sult by playing the ace and small spado, finessing the jack in dummy East dropped the seven i of diamonds and seven of hearts The
[und, when the Ring of spades was played from dummy, East was forced to discard another heart,
Due to the fact that East re turned a club, the declarer figured him with both heart and diamond kings. So the ace of hearts now was led and here is where East can make a very fine defensive play. He can throw on the king of hearts. Why? Because he can see that on the next play the declarer is going to throw him in with the king of hearts and he is going to be forced to lend away from his diamonds..
