Opellinl lead - qu n of diamonda.
A cOOldentiou declarer starts the
play of each hand with the feeling
that if anything can go wrong, it will
go wrong - and he then attempts to
guard against every type of misfor-
. tune he can think of. '
AccordinaJy, when South fir t
views the dummy at four hearts, he
ta the somber view that he may
lose a spade, a heart and two. clubs
and go down one. He realizes he may
not hav to lose a trump trick and that
he will 'lose Only one 'club -trick if
West has the ace, but he starts by
uming he win be unlucky on both
counts.
, • next step is to try to overcome
the ima . d luck. He notes th t
-

.if the spades are favorably divided he
can establish a spade winner to take
eire of e of his losing clubs, nd
that this possibility can be pursued
without relinquishing his other ch n­
ces for the contract.
Accordbagly, he wins the diamond
with the king and leads a spade. West
follows low and East takes the jack
with the king. Let's say East returns
a djamond to the ace, whereupon
South ruffs a low spade .
Declarer then cashes the A-K of
trumps, East showing out, and ruffs
a diamond with the jack. When he
now trumps another low spade,
West's ace falls and the contract sud­
denly becomes secure. South later
discards a club on the queen of
spades and loses only three tricks -
a spade, a heart nd a club.
Note that if declarer ignores the
spades and relies on a favorable
trump split or on finding West with
the club ace, he goes down. The prac­
tice of carefully planning the play,'
instead of relying only on luck, pays
handsome dividends from time to
time .
