North knows that one or the other of the is short in clubs and his best defense might be to establish two diamond tricks for mislef. He therefore leads the king of dia- monds which West, the declarer, wins with the ace.
 The club bid has told the declarer that South undoubtedly holds the ace and king of clubs and the king of hearts to justify his bid.

 His only chance is to establish that club suit for discards before he loses his ace of hearts. His rtump must be conserved in dummy for re entries when the club suit Is established. Of course, the de. clarer can safely take one round of trump by leading theace of spades. His next play should be the i've of clubs which South will win with the king. South will return the 10
