Clubs are trumps and Il Is in the lead
and want al q ght tricks aga nst any
defence.
The most popular solution, sent in by
the majority Of those VINO got IL right.
IL FOR u TO start with the TRUMP. the pri-
pary object Of attack being to force heart
discards from or To- establish the eight
OF spades Y. ON the second round
OF trumps, both Of As fall and has to
discard
n u discards the spade leads a
diamond and Is In - lead two rounds
OF trumps ON the first OF these al three
players discard spades. ON the LAST
trump II y ]. a go heart. keeping the
spade king Y throws aWiy the spade and
u must give up q heart or make the
"ght Of diamonds good FOR a trick in rs
hand
II y disctrds u hear, on the return
OF the trump by the next lead will BE-
e spade Inst, td OF a diamond and Will
trump ii. The last trump forces to
discard II he let's 20 heart makes
three tricks IN that suit. II he drops the
diamond queen can make two heart
tricks and lead through Rs minor tenacs
In diamonds for two more tricks.
- II \ cards "A spade. leaving his part
npr with the TEX OF that suit, Y discards
the heart. and Il may as well go on dis
card ng hearts. 30 as to keep guard on
the two other suits. T. now leads a heart.
ana ar er ! las maze TWO tIltks IN IVA
suit b finds himself in a hole, as he
must establish two diamonds Tor Or a
spade for Y.
S.vera, varied this attack 10y making
Y lead one round OF hearts before fore
Ing u with the spade when II discarded
a heart IN the second trump lead The
trick * then for Il to lubbock by play
Ing the heart Jack. Then II \ discar>s
the spad, king Y can LEI 90 the diamond.
so as TO make the tcnacc In hearts or the
spade eight. unless elects To give
two tricks IN diamonds.
Several Solvcrs did not gee the trump
attack At all but started with the ace
Of diamonds. which they followed with
the seven ~ hearts. spade lead gives
2 a run and Y is in again with another
heart from rs hand To lead his third
heart for Y to run with the high trump
so that he can lead the smaller one
through \. This allows to win which
ever trump \ plays and gives anal
ruff on the spades, making the ace Of
trumps himself on the last trick.
Some varied this by starting with the
heart, letting run spade on the re-
turn. Then the acc OF dia almonds wins.
Y wins another heart and u ruffs\ the
third heart with the high trump, so as
10 lead the small one through \ and
get run on the second round OF spades.
THIS Is "a very pretty variation.

the trump attack did not. the GROSS
run AT all. Here are those who got the
