A FATAL ERROR
AN EXPERT’S pleasure at dis
covering the one way to defeat a
contract is comparable to his delight
In discovering the one way to fulfill
a difficult contract. When a player
has two ways of defeating a contract
and only one way of helping declarer
fulfill it, both he and his partner feel
upset in case the wrong method is
followed. The hand today was the
occasion of one of those fatal er
rors,

On the third round of trumps North
discarded his lowest spade, indicat
t Ing the suit he least wanted partner
to lead, although the opening trump
I lead showed North must hold the K
. of spades, as well as high honor
strength in both minor suits.
• Declarer led a low diamond and
; finessed the Q, although he must
i have known that the K lay at hi 3
i left. Evidently the declarer did not
hold the Q-J of spades, or even the
J, but he might hold the missing Q.
North was in with his K of dia
monds and he led baW.i a low card
of that suit, putting the declarer in
with his Ace. Experts read “signs’ 1
afforded by opponents’ play as Indi
ans do when following a trail. West
knew that North held the Ace of
clubs, before the latter passed the
first lead of that suit, allowing dum
my’s Q to win. The declarer led back
a low diamond and ruffed. North
knew that West held in his remain
ing 6 cards just 1 trump and 5 black
cards, without knowing the division
of those side cards in spades and
clubs. When West led his second
club it was the plain duty of North
to win with his Ace, then lead back
a club. He took his Ace, but he
failed to lead back the club. He led
back his 3 of spades, tlie one lead
whl.t?h could give fulfillment of the
game contract V\. ' . f
Tlio declarer smiled his thanks.
Dummy played low. South put
the 9 and West won the
trick for his side. The Ace df hearjs,
dummy’s Ace of spades and its K jot
clubs yielded the three added tricks
required to fulfill the contract, whij.’b
could nqt be made had the declarer
been forced to -lead spades. f
