 The Play
 East opened the three of clubs. It now looks as though the only chance the declarer has to make his grand slam in No Trump is to get break in diamonds. but the declarer decided that there were two ways that he might make the hand. First. that his seven hearts to the queen jack ten nine would pick up the outstanding hearts, and if this did not work he would then have to look to diamond break. Therefore the declarer's play was the king of hearts from dummp. West playing the ten of clubs and the declarer won the trick with the king of clubs im- mediately returning the ace of hearts from dummy. Now the queen of hearts was led by the declarer and a small diamond dis carded from dummy.
 Declarer now knew that the hearts would break and led the jack of hearts, East discarding a club and the declarer discarding the queen of spades from dummy. Two more rounds of hearts were taken by the declarer, club and a spade being discarded by East and the ace and king of spades being discarded by the dummy. The declarer then tried for . spade break and led the jack of spades. discarding a small diamond from the dummy. The nine of spades picked up the last spade from the opponents. The declarer then cashcd his good spade. the four and five of hearts and then led the seven of diamonds to the dummy's ace. the only trick dum- my won being the ace of diamonds and the deciarer. by cieverly un- blocking. had made his contract of seven No Trump.
