When the opening lead was made
in today's hand. West did not take
SUFFICIENT time to study the cards.

won with the ace. Now, If he had
taken the spade finesse, he could
have made the contract; but with
nine trumps play. West should play
the correct play. West should play
for the drop, but unfortunately
North held three to the queen, so
declarer had to lose a spade trick,
and in addition heart and two
