Trick lit is hardly necessary to state
that this opening was chosen by COM
nonsense player, who would never dream
OF starting trumps from such a hand AS
a rule. the long suit should be tried for.
and here the spades would be first choice
II the suit was one card longer. or even
from four with little more high-card
strength. But a has not a card big
enough to fneSse with to protect his
queen on return lead. Su.h suits are
vastly better to let alone than to lead
away from. Still. the spade lead would
be forced upon but for the fact that
he has in the queen and Jack of hearts
an exceptionally good short suit to open.
The choice proved fortunate one-if any
thing can be justly termed fortunate
which arises from the application of a
sound principle-and with fine after-play

fair reason for covering. AS the cards
lay, his play was entirely immaterial and
could not affect the result.
Trick 6-Should have gone in here
with his ace? There seems no reason for
doing so unless he wishes to continue the
trump lead. and this would be almost
sure to lose him a possible trick In the
trump suit. That he afterward loses
both the diamond ace and the trump
