The Play

The opening lend is the queen of diamonds. When you take stock of the situation, you find that you have exactly soven high card tricks. Your only long suit Is hearts; so you attack this sult without delay,

Of course, you must be careful not to take the ace of hoarts out of dummy at once, as it will ́olim- 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 la stripped of diamonds before you lose control of that suit.

West wins with the ten and re- turns the jack of diamonds, which you win with your ace,

And now Watson states that the time has come for your despera- tion play. You lead the eight of hearts, and, whon West plays the seven, you again duck the trick, playing low from dummy...

This is a double ducking play, and is the only way you can over hope to make nine tricks on the deal. As it turns out, East is forced to win the trick with his king, and has to lead brek either a spade or a club.

True, if West hold the ace of clubs, you would bo set two trieka In spite of your "double duck" in hearts.

However, you remember that you held up on the second round of diamonds, in the hope that Exist would be stripped of that suit and would be unable to lend a diamond, assuming, of course, that he has
