turning a small diamond, on which
the leader dropped the deuce. De-
clarer Immediately saw three possible
lines Of attack. The first was a club
finesse, but he Immediately discarded
that because Of the fact that East
might hold the blank king. The Sec
ond was to play the ace of clubs, then
return to his hand and lead up to
the queen. This play would guard
against the singleton king in the East
hand, but would lose in the event that
East held the king protected.
The third possibility was this: If,
as seemed quite likely, East held no
more than three hearts and three
spades, declarer could run off three
tricks in each Of these suits, then
throw East In with a diamond. East
could then run of his other three
diamond tricks, but, whether he held
the king Of clubs or not, he would be
forced to lead up to the ace-queen.
Having decided this, declarer played
the ace-king queen of both hearts and
spades and, landing in dummy, threw
East in with diamond, only to find
