looked bad for the declarer. How
ever, the small spade returned
was finessed with the queen when
East again played low.
The drop of the ten of spades
from West marked East with the
king and one small. At this point
South must make the play that
will prove to be the only solution
to the hand. A small spade would
put matters right up to West.
Should he trump higher than the
dummy, a diamond discard from
the North hand would insure no
diamond losers. Should West re-
fuse to trump, dummy would
ruff, diamond from South would
be discarded on North's king of
clubs. South would return to his
own hand with trump and after
picking up Vests last heart,
would make the two good spades
and the ace of diamonds. North
and South would then only lose
a diamond trick at the end.
If at the sixth trick South had
led the ace of spades instead of a
small one, East would trump and
the contract would have been de-
feated one trick.
