West opened the king of diamonds
and South managed to conceal his
distaste for the dummy, which had
been considerably overbid. Win
ming with dummy's ace, declarer
proceeded to ruff out his two losing
spades and draw the outstanding
trumps. Next the ace and king of
clubs were played from dummy,
then a third club led, on which
East carelessly played the jack.
While 1t was a fairly natural
mistake for East to play the high
club. it gave South his contract, for,
instead Of trumping, declarer dis
carded a diamond. East was now
on lead and had to lead either a
spade or club, which, of course,
was trumped in dummy, South
meanwhile discarded his remaining
diamond.
If East had been alert, he would
have played low on the third club
lead, hoping that his partner held
the ten1spot. East should have
known that since he was unable to
lead diamond, it would be fatal
for him to obtain the lead.
