They had taken one Spade trick, one
Heart trick, and three Club tricks,
thus holding Mrs. Todhunter 10 her
contract Of two Spsdes. for which she
scored Is trick points and 40 for
honors.
This hand was remarkable for its
two unusual plays on the first trick.
The first card led with the Queen Of
Hearts. and Dummy holding the
King-Jack. had what is known as a
"fourchette.' A fourchette is the
next card higher and the next card
lower than the card led or played by
the opponent on the right When q
high card is led or played, the rule
is to cover when holding a fourchette,
because. even IL the other adversary
plays a higher card. the msneuver
takes two high cards for n and

the f~ourchettc.
The cover-witt-a-fourchetts rule 10
especially important when q Queen il
led and the next player has King
Jack; thus in this hand n~inety-nine
Declarers out of every hundred would
have played the King from Dummy as
a matter Of course, failing to appre-
ciate that with the 3 failing TO sp-
DreCiate that with the 3 falling on
the trick from the East hand, North
would not continue the suit up 70 the
exposed Jacks.
OF course the play of the King
would make the Jack OF Hearts a
winner. but il would mean a shifting
from that suit. Declarer could be
sure that IL a shift took place il
would be to Clubs; and If South held
the Ace Of Clubs. the shift must cost
game. Consequently the hand Illus
trates a case in which il is advisable
for Declarer to depart from an estab-
lished. rule.
Dummy's underplay put a most un-
usual situation IN 10 North. North
realized there must be some very i'm
portant and unusual reason for De-
clarer's failing 10 cover the Queen
led with the higher card OF the ex-
posed fourchetts. North's keen in
ference was that Declsrer feared n
Club lead from North, and hoped. BY
underplayin- from Dummy. TO keep
the lead with South. Consequently II
was excellent play for North TO sac
rifice her Ace OF Hearts on her part
ner's Queen and thus become able to
lead her Queen of Clubs TO trick 2;
as by doing so she must thwart the
scheme of the Declsrer.
