play can afford to lose the heart king and two spade tricks If the defenders also get a diamond ruff then the contract is set Certainly the right play at the outset Is to win East club queen with the ace and ruff the club jack in my What next Suppose you take the heart finesse and it loses West might now return a diamond You would win and lead a spade back toward your king If that lost to West ace and East got a dla mondruff then the spade queen would Therefore cash the diamond ace before leading trumps Then instead of taking the heart simply play the ace and 10 of hearts If West wins the king of hearts there will be no danger But with the actual deal there is a risk East wins the king and still has a heart left And he returns a spall e Now what Us time to recall the bidding and the play East was the dealer and passed He played the queen of clubs at trick one When South trumped the club jack in dummy West did not and so presumably East also holds the club king East has just won the heart king Can he also hold the spade ace Although possible Its s very likely most of us would open the bid ding with A K and K So declarer should play East for the spade queen by playing low on the spade return West can win the ace and give his part a diamond ruff but South will still have 10 tricks Feeling The Squeeze I may be able to help with CONFIDENTIAL NO OBLIGATION PERSONAL FINANCIAL
