The queen Of hearts was opened
and won by declarer with the ace. He
now drew three rounds Of trumps,
played low club and hnessed
dummy's jack. East won with the
queen and returned a heart, where
upon declarer had to lose an addi-
tional club trick and was set.
As is frequently the case, he COM
planned about tough luck Actually,
the proper safety play would have
completely insured the success Of this
contract. Once he had drawn trumps.
he should have laid down dummy's
ace Of clubs. As the cards lay, the
queen would have dropped. where
upon he would have lost but one
trick.
However. suppose both opponents
happened to follow with small clubs.
He would enter his own hand with
the ace of diamonds and now play
low club. II West at this point
held three clubs to the queen, he
would have had his choice of duck
ing and letting the jack hold the
second club, or going up and estab-
fishing the rest of the club suit. If
East originally held four to the queen,
West would show out. the jack would
force the queen. and then declarer
could enter dummy with a heart, play
a low club and successfully finesse
for the 10 spot.
We invite our readers to study this
play. 1t comes up seldom. but is well
worth knowing. and 1t works against
any distribution whatsoever.
