The Play
The opening lead is the queen of diamonds. When you take stock of tho situation, you find that you have exactly soven high card tricks. Your only long sult is hearts, so you attack this suit without delay.
Of course, you must be careful not to take the ace of hearts out of dummy at once, as it will elim inate the only entry in that hand. Therefore, you lead a small heart, West plays the deuce, the four is played from dummy, and East wins with the queen.
He returns the nine of diamonds and this time you must play low, knowing that it will do no harm to make sure that your right hand opponent is stripped of diamonds before you lose control of that
suit
