&Q732
Opening lead: King of hearts.

Opening lead: King of hearts.
Take this situation. West
leads the king of hearts. Should
you win the trick at once or
should you let West win the
first heart trick?
You surely have to lose q
heart trick sooner or later. If
you lose it at once, the OPP
ponents can do no harm. If
you wait until later, they may
be able to do some damage.
See how the play goes if you
refuse the first trick. West con-
tinues with a heart to the ace,
as good a defense as any. You
draw two rounds of trumps, dis
covering the bad news.
Take Top Clubs
You next take the ace and
king of clubs and lead dummy's
low club toward your hand.
East cannot gain by ruffing,
for you would play your low
club on this trick. Then you
would win any return, draw
East's last trump and give up
just one diamond.
If East discards, you win
with the queen of clubs and
ruff your last club with
dummy's last trump. East can
over-ruff, but only at the ex-
pense of his sure trump trick.
Whether East ruffs the third
club or discards you are safe.
Now see what would happen
If you won the first trick with
the ace of hearts. You would
draw two rounds Of trumps apd
start the clubs. But East would
ruff the third club and put his
partner in with q heart to get
another club ruff.
Daily Question
Partner opens with one
heart and the next player bids
two spades "a pre-emptive
Jump. You hold: 80
80 0KQJ65 0Ks4 %l0s64.
What do you say?
Answer: Bid four hearts. You
would have to bid three hearts
with q far weaker hand and
your partner would make al
lowance for a raise under
pressure. You must go to game
to show that your raise is vol
untary, not under pressure.
