The last heart was now led and East
had no problem-he simply threw the
ten of clubs. Declarer dropped the
six of spades and now West was forced
to let go the diamond jack, unguard-
ing the king. The ace of spades was
now played from dummy, and at this
point East felt the pressure; he natu-
rally had to hold the queen Of clubs,
and hence was compelled to unguard
his queen of diamonds, whereupon de-
clarer dropped the deuce of clubs from
his hand and made the last two tricks
with the diamond ace and ten.
When the hand came up for dis
cussion the bidding was approved
unanimously. After all. declarer had
made the hand in spite Of the fact
that spades failed to break. However.
East,s suggestion was that West might
have saved the situation by not throw
ing his club so quickly. Now, however,

as before, while should he let go the
king of diamonds. declarer would have

This silenced East temporarily, but

West would naturally have thrown
his diamonds since he would hold
nothing as high as my 10-spot. On
the six of hearts play both East and
West would be forced to throw clubs.
Now the play Of the ace Of spades
from dummy would squeeze East since
he would be unable to guard the club
and also hold the high diamond.
And so we leave our readers with
two bridge problems they may give to
their friends. The first problem is to
take the doctored hand and see II
their victim can make the six no
trump. If he can do that, give him
the original hand and see il he can
find the defense to beat it.

Now when the six of hearts is play
ed, both defending players would let
60 clubs and there would be nothing
declarer could do In other words, the
squeeze would not operate and since
his low club was only the deuce, he
would have no flnesse.
That settled the hand temporarily,
but the next day South returned to
the hand and said, You know, II !
had held Vests nine Of diamonds,
nothing could have been done about
defeating the contract. and we would
have a real double dummy problem.
Had I held the nine of diamonds,
when I led the low diamond at trick
two, my nine would have forced the
Jack in the West hand. Now West
would have no play to beat the hand.
Should he lead back low diamond,
East's queen would force my ace and
I now would play the hand as simple
pressure squeeze against West. even
tually coming down to the position
where my last cards would be the ten
of diamonds and the six of spades, and
dummy's the ace and trey of spades.
West would have to hold two spades
and since my ten of diamonds would be
higher than anything that East held,
West would be gone.
West said, But suppose I play back
