East ruffs and returns a club, knocking out dummy'a ace. Now the king of spades is cashed, and all the trumps played except, ono. This leaves the dummy with the ace and eight of diamonds and the ace and ten of spades. On the last trump lend, West finds himself squeezed. He has been forced to discard down to the queen-jack of spades and the king-ten of dia- munds. Whichever he discards, a spade or a diamond, will establish that suit-in-the dummy.
Playing the hand in hearts is the best score, on account of the hundred honours. Nevertheless, the hand should have been played at ne trump.
