 Selecting the proper play on to- days hand helped Wallace to win the championship. When dummy goes down, declarer has e choice of plays. Which ace shall he try to locate right?

If the ace of clubs was right, the opponents could not prevent him from discarding one of dummy's diamonds on the third club. If the club play went wrong, he still had play to locate the diamond or spade ace right. As the cards were distributed, if Wallace had led Q diamond first, West would
 have won shifted b Q spade, and .
