So ceclarer's first play was a small diamond and the six spot was finessed from dummy. East won the trick with the jack, and of course cannot return a club; so he shifted to heart, leading the queen, which was won in dummy with the ace.
 A spade finesse was immedi- ately taken and it held. At this point the declarer led another small diamond and West played the five spot. Would you play the ten or the ace?
 I will give you little tip. If you play the ace, you Will lose yourN contract. Declarer must play the ten spot, allowing Easts blank queen to make.
 Now, of course, East is help less. He can lead another heart. but the declarer will win in dummy, and cash his three good diamond tricks, all that is needed to make his contract.
 The safety play in the hand came when the declarer refused to play the ace of diamonds on the second round. It was the clever handling of the diamond suit which gave the contract, to the declarer.
