fact the usual con tract would be one no trump one pair at the club actually passed out these hands the trick is to make nine tricks at no trump warned by souths heart bid west will lead a club now declarer must make his plan often it is advisable to holdup once in the opponents suit but this is not one of those times declarer must win the first club in his hand with the king the club ace must be preserv ed as an entry now declarer must lead a spade and keep leading them until east takes his ace east will return a club or a heart after winning the spade ace if he returns a heart west can take three tricks but no more since he will not wish to break open the diamond suit west will probably lead another club but no matter declarer baa a small club and can enter dummy to cash any good spade tricks this will give declarer five tricks for sure three spades and two clubs to make three no trump declarer must come home with four diamond tricks the lead is dummy and bast if dec throws the jack or ten under the queen then east can cover the nine when it is led and ensure the defense of one diamond trick this is- a most interesting combination ot cards i sug gest you lay out the
