becuse when you find yourself in to be obtained on application. a difeult contract, it teaches you the play of the hand, and if you don't want to go down, you have to learn all the little finer points of play."
Here's a smple strip and end play which, by the way, is one of the most valuable weapons of the declarer, and still a great many of these plays are overlooked daily.
The Play
West opened the king of dia- monds and Miss Murdoch saw that to make her contract she could afford to lose only one spade trick, If both the king and queen of spades were in the West hand, she could throw that hand into the lead with one of the spado honours and force him to lead away from the other.
..
But this could be accomplished only by stripping her hand and the dummy's of diamonds and clubs.
Sho planned the play of the hand before winning the first trick and, after coming to a decision, pro- ceeded in this way.
She won the first trick with the nco and ruffed n diamond with the four of hearts. The ace and king of trump were then played, then the ace of clubs, and a small club rated in dummy.
Another diamond was ruffed in her hand and still another club trumped in the dummy. The last diamond was played from dummy, ruffed by declarer and the last club ruffed with the queen of hearts.
Miss Murdoch then led the ten of spades and finessed it. West win- ning the trick with the queen.
West now was in the helpless ' position of being forced to lend
