 Norths opening lead of the king of clubs was overtaken by South, really smart play. South con- tinued with the queen and jack of clubs. West, realizing that he must lose the deuce of hearts any, way, discarded 1t on the jack of clubs. North discarded a diamond, and after that, the declarer had no trouble at all to make the con- tract.

Therefore, while he made @ nice play when he overlook the king of clubs with the ace, he must realize that his only hope to defeat the contract is to cash two club tricks, a heart trick, and establish @ trump trick for his partner. Therefore, before leading the second club, he should lay down the ace of hearts. North should play the three, discourag- ing the heart play and asking for the continuation of the club suit.
