Fine Points in Bridqe
BY sHETARo BARCLAY

South led his spade 7. West
promptly threw on the quite
clearly a singleton. or at least so
it looked to South. The declarer's
original intention had been to win
the first spade round with the A
and finesse the J next. West knew
that IL he put the 10 on the nrst
trick. South might count him for a
doubleton Q and drop It with the K
on the second round-as this de-
clareF later said he would have
done.
Playing the Q. however, made
the declarer decide that East had
four headed by the 10. and that
therefore a hnesse Of the 8 was
necessary. A more careful declar-
er would have used the K on the
second round, to re-enter dummy
to hnesse the 8 on the third.
But such a thoroughly marked
hnesse tempted him and he
hnessed the 8 on the second round.
As a consequence. the 10 won.
making the third trick for the de-
Tense. and the later sure trick with
the heart K beat the contract.
