After winning the heart open
Ing" writes Mr.. Linton who identi-
fies South only as one Of the players
In his regular game. South led the
ace Of spades and discovered that he
had q sure loser in trumps in addi-
ton to q loser in each Of the red
suits.
Even if the club king lay under
the ace, there would still be a loser
in the suit unless East could be
forced to lead away from his king
So South led heart back to West,
won the diamond return, ruffed his
last heart and put West in with
diamond. West led third diamond,
which South ruffed. and now the red
suits were gone from both hands.
South then led to dummy's king
Of spades and gave East his trump
trick East had to lead clubs. giving
South his contract. Two club leads
by West might have defeated the
contract, but sitter all he was trying
to protect his ten and his partners
holding in the suit"
Nevertheless. We think West
should have led clubs: but we grant
that for West to lead clubs as soon
As he is given his firSt heart trick
takes much imagination and conf
dence in South's ability to play the
hand skillfully. In any case. South's
ability to overcome the bad trump
break demonstrated his skill as no
number OF lay-down hands could.
