NEW KNIFE

West opened the king Of diamonds,
East signaling for a continuation
with the diamond eight. West then
took the diamond queen and stopped
to count noses"
He had already won two tricks
and was sure of the trump ace for
the third defensive trick. But how
was the setting trick to be won?
There was the chance, of course.
that East had the club king, but in
that case the contract would be de-
. feated regardless OF Vests next play.
What could West do to defeat the
contract even If South had the club
king?
The only chance was to win two
trump tricks with the ace and ten.
That could be done if East had a
trump honor-or if East could force
out one of South's honors on the
play of side suit
With this analysis, West led
low diamond! Dummy played the
ten, and East, realizing his part
ner's intention. ruffed with the seven
of trumps. South had to use the
trump lack to win the trick, and
West therefore won two trump tricks
to defeat the contract.
