player will win the opening lead with the ace of hearts, return the nine of spades and finesse the ten. When the jack wins and the heart is returned, West will win with the queen and lead the third heart Declarer wins and takes an- other spade finesse, and again East wins. A diamond is returned and the contract is set two tricks.
 If we count the tricks, we find two heart tricks, two diamond tricks can be developed, plus four club tricks and the ace of spades nine tricks. Therefore, don't bother about the spade suit. simply lead diamond,
 Tn almost every case you will make game easily, because it would take Q double -dumny play on the part Of West to jump in with the acc Of diamonds, shift to a spade and get e heart return from part- ner. m all probability, since hearts were opened, the opponents will continue the heart, thus allowing you to make game.
