MT Pass 3NT All Pass
Opening lead: Six of spades.
South, won the first trick
with the king of spades and
counted his tricks: two spades
and four diamonds. He needed
three more tricks.
Which suit should he tackle
firSt-hearts or clubs?
II he led a suit and lost to
the ace. back would come q
spade to knock out the ace.
Then the opponents would be
in position to take their other
ace and the rest Of the spades.
South saw that he'd be safe
II he could steal" q trick. For
example, II he led the ten of
clubs and won the trick, he
could then switch to hearts to
make sure Of two hearts and
a total Of nine tricks. But it
would be equally effective to
steal q heart trick and then
switch to clubs.
So South sat indecisively in
his chair until the other three
players threatened to get up
and 60 to the movies.
Extra Card
The decisive factor is the
extra card in hearts. At the
second trick South should lead
a low heart toward dummy.
II West has the ace of hearts
(aS happens to be the case)
he cannot afford to play it
for then dummy could play
low. and South would have
three heart tricks. Once South
Is allowed to win a heart trick
in dummy he can switch to
clubs and make sure of nine
tricks.
But what II East has the ace
OF hearts? He will capture
dummy's queen Of hearts, but
then South still has the chance
OF q 3-3 heart break. His extra
heart may still be decisive.
Correct defense will beat
South If he leads q club at the
second trick. West steps up with
the ace Of clubs and leads an
other spade. Now South has
only eight tricks.

on a technicality.
