Opening- Q.

TODAY'S hand is

taken from

the new book entitled "Sure Tricks" by Ivar Andersson of Stockholm, Sweden, and published by George S. Coffin of Flizwilliam, N. H. This book includes a num- ber of Coffin's problem hands, which

I am sure any bridge player will find unusually interesting,

The problem in today's hand is not too difficult but it is one in which the average player might: easily make a mistake.

When East plays the nine on his partner's opening tead of the dla mond queen, South wins the trick with the king. He is sure of two diamonds, two hearts, n spade and two clubs, but that is only seven tricks.

How can the others be developed? The club sult looks like the best one to tackle, but South must not make the mistake of cashing the king of clubs. The correct play is to lead the king of clubs, overtake it in dummy with the nce and then lead the ten-spot, to drive out the queen or juck.

If the defence returns a spade, declarer wins in dummy and leads another club, to drive out the other club honour. Now he is bound to make four club tricks, two diamonds, two hearts and the ace of spades for nine tricks, A nice example of correct "ilming.
