Needs Discard
Declarer planned to develop
his clubs. If all went well he
would be able to discard
dummy's losing heart on a good
club. South led a low club
from dummy, East played the
nine, and declarer f1nessed the
jack. So far so good. Declarer
next led a heart to dummy's
king and returned another low
club. East shrewdly played the
king of clubs.
This is where South fell from
grace. He pounced on the
trick with his ace of clubs. If
you have your handkerchief
ready, this is the time to shed
a tear. If South led the next
club from his hand East's Q-8
would control the suit. If
South led a heart to dummy's
ace and then led a club, East
would take the queen of clubs
and a heart trick. Either way
the contract was sure to be
defeated.
South's correct play is, of
course, to let East win a trick
with the king of clubs. East
returns heart to dummy's ace
and declarer leads dummy's
last club. South can take two
tricks with the ace and ten of
clubs, discarding dummy's low
heart in the process.
