West opened the heart king, then cashed the nce and played a thir round. Declarer ruffed, drew trumps in two leads, then played the spade queen through East, who covered. South, of course, won-but now he had to solve a tough problem. How good was East?

The origin of this question was in the fact that East had covered the spado queen. A good player would not cover if he held only low cards underneath the king he would not expose his partner's possible ten to other second-round finesse. In

Gauging his right-hand opponent correctly, South returned spade toward dummy and resisted the temptation to Anesso for the ten. He put up the Jack, and when the ten fell, he was on sale ground.'!

If South had rated" East lower, he probably would have finessed for the spade ten.
