Of Z's getting a discard Of the king OF

Upon this trick z discards the heart

The problem can also be solved II the

a good example of what Jay Reed calls

At two tables b played the hand cor

saved the game. but set the contract.
The opening lead was the same. but

king Of clubs, while he still had the
diamonds stopped.
Y must win the club, or anything will
force the ace. After exhausting the
trumps z led the diamond and the

other table. But in this case put
himself In the lead again with the
queen of clubs and took second
finesse This B won.
Now tine return of the heart forces

club tricks. stopping at two by cards.
At the other table z went game In

BIS holiness in taking out dummy's re-
entry that B could stop the diamonds
later, so instead of pulling BIS trumps
after winning the king Of clubs he re-
turned the club. winning with the queen.

for $50. Two or three tricks later he
gets another king. and as the queen of
trumps Is still on the table he melds 40.
Is this correct?
No. because the queen has already
been used In meld OF higher value than
marriage In the same class of melds.
The trump sequence and marriages are
both in Class A.

the lead Is a club. and A discards a
