Following are additional ex-
am pies applying the rule of eleven.
AS was the case in our previous
article, South is the declarer at no
trump. North the dummy West Is
the opeuing leader and the card
led is in parenthesis. East Is the
partner of the leader.

West opens the seven spot. APP
plying the rule of eleven, seven
from eleven leaves four. There is
one in the dummy and three in
East's hand, therefore the declar-
er holds no card higher than the
seven spot. II dummy plays
small card, East should play the
five spot, allowing his partner to
hold the trick. The king will be
captured on the next lead Of the
same suit by West.

Q-3-2
Vests opening is the six spot.
Six from eleven leaves five. There
are two in the dummy and two in
the East hand, therefore East
knows that the declarer holds one
card higher than the six. II dunn
my now plays the eight, East
should not play the ace but should
play the ten, which would force
the declarer's queen, and in this
manner the declarer would get
only one trick, while If East were
to 60 up with the. ace, he knows
that he is absolutely setting a
trick in dummy for the declarer,
and IL the deelarer does happen to
hold the queen, he would be set
ting. two tricks, as would be the
case in this example.

West opens the five, spot. Dunn
my should play the six spot which
forces East's ten. The declarer
now wins with the ace and can
safely take the finesse, as by ap-
plying the rule Of eleveny five
from eleven leaves six, he knows
that, as there are three in dummy
and declarer holds two and the
one that East held was forced on
the first trick, he knows that the
queen is in the West hand.
