and south shows his second suit which fin ished the bidding after the heart lead declarer makes his plan he has two heart losers two club losers and a potential loser in both diamonds and trump it never pays to be too opti mistic so declarer should as sume that one finesse must work in order to make the contract east took two rounds of hearts and led a diamond declarer played the nine and the finesse lost back came a club and de clarer played low east winning another diamond put declarer in the lead a club to dummys ace allowed declarer to leadatrump of course the queen of spades was led but east did not cover when the queen won declarer led another spade and the finesse repeated however this time declarer must end up in his hand dummy cannot- be reentered so east must make a spade trick even though the finesse worked a trump trick was lost and declar er went down to defeat i where did declarer go wrong did you notice the play to the first diamond trick declarer should not play the nine he must play the jack or queen if the finesse loses the dia mond ten in dummy becomes a vital entry if the diamond fin esse works declarer should lead spades from his hand and give up a trump in order to take the diamond finesse again if west is a good player he may not win the first diamond and then declarer is left to a guess but this did not happen in this case last weeks winners at the
