South, the declarer on today hand, faces two problems, the cor rect solution of both being essential to fulfillment of his contract.
 Every bridge player has learned, time and time again, the impor- tance of planning the play as soon as the opening lead is made and declarer can, by studying the dummy's holding in conjunction with his own, determine where he can look for the tricks needed to fulfill his contract.
