Opening lead: King of hearts.
Sometimes the fall Of the
cards on the first four or five
tricks will tell an alert defender
the exact distribution Of de-
clarer's hand. At other times
the situation is not quite so
clear and the correct defensive
play must be found through
logical differences and good
reasoning.
Mr.. Abel led the king of
hearts and it was permitted to
win. Obviously a shift was
indicated. A spade lead looked
extremely dangerous, and 50
did q club. Mr.. Abel made what
appeared to him to be his
safest lead, the king Of dia-
monds.
Mr.. Fusty won with the ace,
then led his last heart and
hnessed dummy's jack. He
parked a club on the ace of
hearts, then led a club which
Mr.. Meek took with the ace.
A trump was returned and
MIR. FuSty won with the king.
ruffed a diamond. ruffed a club
IN his hand, then ruffed his
last diamond. He lost a trick
TO the queen Of spades. but the
rest were his.
Now going back to trick two.
Mr.. Abel should have reasoned
IS follows: With only one dia-
mond in dummy, the defense
cannot win more than one
trick in that suit. And unless
Mr.. Fusty also has q singleton
losing diamond "a remote pos
sibility) then it does him no
good to discard q diamond on
dummy'S hearts.
It would do him q lot Of good,
however. to discard q club. His
hand could be figured for at
least six spades (for his OPEN
ing pre-empt), at least two
hearts Cbecause he ducked the
nrst heart Lead, and, from the
looks of the dummy, the odds
are overwhelming that he has
more diamonds than clubs.
Since Mr.. Abel knew that
his side could win only one
spade. one heart and one dia-
mond (if Mr.. Meek held the
ace Of diamonds), it should
have been clear that at least
one club trick had to be gar
nered to set the hand. And II
one or more club tricks could
be won they had to be taken
quickly-before Mr.. Fusty had
q chance to discard on dunn
my's hearts.
