spot. Then he made his mistake.
Books had taught him that with
a suit like the clubs, he should
take the A FIRST. then lead toward
the Q. which he did. West came
in with the X on the second club
and made a sound defensive play,
returning the heart J, which East
overlook with the Q. That play
cooked South's goose. He ruffed
with his last spade, led to the
club Q and then realized he was
blocked from using the rest OF his
clubs. Locked in the dummy, he
had to lose three more tricks, 30
was down two.
After taking out spades, South
should have led a small club to-
ward the Q. Then It would have
made no difference what West did.
The A would have been a third
round entry for the clubs. And, X
West after winning with his club
X, returned heart before leading
a diamond, his side would get no
diamond trick. but South would
make an overtrick.
