On the opening lead of the ten of diamonds, the queen is played from dummy. East goes up

Now declurer cannot take it for granted that the trumps are going to brenk well. lfe must guard against a bad break in trump. Can he make the con- tract, even if they break badly? He already has shortened him- self down to three trumps by ruming a diamond.

If he plans to ruff a club in dummy, he will have only three trumps left there; and if one of the opponents, has four trumps, they are sure to make a trump - trick.

Declarer's first play should be a spade to dummy, finessing the queen. Eant will win this trick with the king, and a spade re- turn is a safe as anything else. This declarer should win in dummy with the nec, and now he should not lead a trump.

He should play the four of diamonds and trump it with the eight of hearts. If he is looking shead and counting his tricks. he will ceo that he can discard dummy's losing seven of din- Inomis and the fourth space on his are and queen of clubs.
