This came up in today's deal
and Mrs. Fusty took full advan-
tage Of her opportunities by
making a fine. thoughtful play
at the. first trick.
n MFR. Abel led the five Of clubs.
Now, the natural" play here
was to ruff in dummy. Why lose
any club tricks when dummy
was void in the suit and had
plenty of trumps?
Mrs. Fusty knew the answer to
that one. II Mr.. Abel had the
guarded queen OF hearts, he
would eventually get in with that
card and the obvious diamond
return would set the hand. She
handled it so that Mr.. Abel
would never get the lead in
hearts.
Instead Of ruffing at trick one.
she discarded a small heart from
the board. Mr.. Heinsite won with
the ace Of clubs and returned
the trey of hearts.
Mrs. Fusty won with the ace
and cashed the ace Of spades.
She then led the king of hearts
and followed with the ten.
There was nothing Mr.. Abel
could do about 1t. If he covered
with the queen. Mrs. Fusty
would ruff on the board. She
would re-enter her hand with a
spade. play the good eight of
hearts and discard q diamond
from dummy. She would lose
only the opening club trick and
two diamonds.
. Mr.. Abel decided to duck the
ten Of hearts lead. But Mrs.
Fusty discarded a diamond from
dummy anyway, and lost only
two diamonds and a club. Note
that she would have been safe
even II Mr.. Abel had taken the
ten OF hearts with the queen.
