Problem

I don't believe that even the good player pays enough atten- tion to a cross-ruffing hand. Bo- 10re Etarting to cross-ruit a hand, you must analyze It completely,

You cannot look ahend simply to establishing a card in a certain suit, but you must figure what is going to happen right down to the 12th and 13th tricks. To-day's hand is an example. It was play- od in the final session of the national open contract pair cham- plonship event of the national tournament at Cincinnati,

He had opened the queen of diamonds-this did not, look liko a singleton diamond; because, if West were short in a auit, it probably was hearts. To pick up trump would defeat the declarer's contract.

Therefore, there was only one chance of making the hand, and that was to cross-ruff it out. The

club finesse would not have to be taken unless East showed up with
