The Piny

Against three no trump. Westa opening lend is the eight of hearts, vich South wins with the nine spot. The declarer now has to count his tricks. He has made a hort trick, nud he has a spade trick and six club tricks: but that's caly eight tricks.

Of course, if West has the ace of diamonds, the contract is not in | danger; but from the opening the possibilities are that East holds the ace of diamonds and, if he does, that means that East and West can cash a diamond and four heart tricks.

However, against a smart player you have a chance to make the con- |tract by playing it in the following

manner:

Cash the ace and king of cluba; West's ten falis, You have to make it appear to East thuit Went holds the jack of clubs and you need the king of diamonds for an entry into dummy. So your next play is to lend the queen of din- monds before you canh another club trick.

Can't you see that a smart Enst player will refuse to win the first diamond trick, hoping to keep the declarer out

of of dummy? course, as soon as East plays a small diamond, do not take o

chance that he will stay off the second diamond, but lead your jack of clubs, overtake in dummy, and be content with your three no trump.
