Opening lead: Diamond seven.
East won the first two tricks
with top diamonds. Then he
shifted to the ace of spades and
continued with q spade to
dummy's queen. Declarer
cashed the ace of clubs and
ruled a club to reach his hand.
Then he led a trump, losing the
f1nesSe to East's king. East
discarded on the next round Of
trumps, causing South to wall
How was I to know his king
was a Singleton?"
What Happened?
South'S question came too
late, largely because he had
asked the wrong question dur
ing the play of the hand. Most
players want to know: What
happened?" Instead they should
ask: What did not happen?"
South would have known
about the singleton king Of
hearts if he had watched what
was not happening. East did
not lead a third diamond at
the third trick. Why? East
surely knew that both South
and West were out of diamonds
after two rounds. Despite this
East did not lead a diamond to
put his partner in overruffng
position.
Why was East so generous
to South? The only sensible
answer is that East knew that
he partner could not overruff
declarer. What harm could it
do to East to make the at
tempt anyway? If South found
out that West could not over
ruff, he would know that East
had the king of hearts. If
South knew the location of the
king of hearts he would play
the ace of trumps instead of
finessing. This could harm
East if, and only if, his king
OF trumpS were a singleton.
In short logic and a sus-
picious mind would lead South
to the right conclusion. He
would play the ace of trumps
at once. dropping East's king.

Did NBC pull some of the

Payola, for the uninitiatedr

MIR. Kovacs plays a Senator
