 The Play
 Vests opening lead is the king of clubs. Would you win the first trick in the dummy with the ace of clubs? If you do, you cannot make your contract of six odd. The proper play is a small club from dummy which South, the de- clarer. trumps with the four of spades.
 The ace and king of spades are led on which two small hearts are discarded from dummy and when the queen of spades does not fall, declarer must then lead the 10 of clubs. There is no advantage In Vests covering. because if south, the declarer, has two diamonds. East can only hold three. The small diamond is played from dummy and the declarer then fol- lows with the deuce of diamonds. taking the jack finesse. Declarer leads the ace of clubs from dum- my, discarding a small heart. The ace and king of diamonds are then played and the three and king of hearts discarded by the decIarer. All that West can do is to win his good queen of spades.
 By refusing to win the first trick im dummy with the ace Of clubs the declarer has made his contract of nix odd.
