makes it reasonable to suppose that
West holds the King of Di%nonds. as
well as a Club honor. An attempt to
establish the Diamonds at once would
involve taking out the trumps, and
this must be avoided because of
South's two losing Spades, for which
Dummy holds trump protection. If
the Club suit can be established in
Dummy and after its establishment
the Diamond finesse holds, a losing
Spade can surely be discarded on
Dummy's eight of Clubs. South,
therefore, leads a Club as the initial
establishment of that suit. A Spade

there would be no way to get back
to South's hand to start the Clubs
without taking the last trump from
