clarer plays the ten of diamonds, East is forced to play the king. and the dummy wins the trick with the ace. The ace of spades Is led from dummy, picking up East's king of spades. Three rounds of diamonds are teken from the dummy and de- clarer discards his three losing hearts. He then leads small heart. West jumps up with the ace and the declarer trumps with the three of spades. He cashes his two good spade tricks and grants his oppo- nents the eight of clubs.
 By overriding the dummy's king of clubs with his ace, thereby pre- venting the East hand from gain- ing the lead, the declarer has made small slam. while If he were to allow the dummy,s king to hold the trick, he could not have made even four odd at spades because as soon as East gained the lead and saw the king of hearts in the dummy, he would certainly shift to the heart suit.

 The declarer can see three pos- sible losing heart. tricks. East must be prevented from getting the lead so that he cannot lead through dummy's king of hearts, therefore the declarer's correct play is to overtake the king of clubs with his ace so that he can do all his finess- ing through East and towards West He should next lead the queen of spades, East should refuse to cover, dummy plays small and West would play the nine of spades.
 There is no harm if West gains the lead, therefore the declarer tries the diamond finesse by lead ing the nine, East plays low and dummy the deuce, and the nine spot wins the trick. Declarer's next lead is the pack of spades. Again East refuses to cover and the dummy plays the eight of spades, West dis carding the three of clubs.
