 South regained the lead by ruf- fling one of dummy's clubs, then led his last spade, which was ruffed in dummy. Another club ruff put South in to pick up trumps. and af- ter that, all the declarer lost was one diamond, making five-odd.
 Now watch what would happen if the proper defense was made. Suppose that East had failed to go up with the jack of trumps on the second trick.
 Now the declarer cashes his ace and king of spades and leads e third spade to ruff in dummy. East will over-ruff with the jack and immediately lead another trump. which will leave the de- clarer with . losing spade and . losing diamond. in addition to the two tricks he has already lost. Thus . contract made with an overtrick could have been set one trick.
