This hand was taken from a recent
duplicate game At every table the
final contract was five or six diamonds,
and at every table West opened the
queen Of hearts and East overlook

except one East led low heart. hoping

by means of the following triple
squeeze:
Declarer played two rounds of
trumps and laid down the ace-king of

clarer simply played out his four re-
naming trumps When the last trump
was played, dummy held the queen
and small spade, the Of clubs and
jack Of hearts. West held the king
small OF clubs and the 1919 of spades
Since he had to discard before dummy,
he was forced to unguard the club
king in order to retain protection in
spades, whereupon declarer threw the
low spade from dummy. The third
spade was now led and East, who now
held the act of hearts and queen-smal
Of clubs, was forced to throw away
the small club in order to keep the
ace of hearts. whereupon declarer's
ace-10 of clubs made the last two
tricks.
At one table the bidding was as
shown Against the six-diamond con-
tract, East was smart enough to real
ize that his partner could not possibly
hope to overru1. Hence. after taking
the queen Of hearts with his king, he
led club. Declarer now was forced
to win with the ace, and the squeeze
could no longer be developed, since
the final connecting link to get back
to his own hand had been removed.
