He could not afford to lead a spade up to the jack. and he certainly could not afford to layt down the club king. So he elected to return a. heart. Unfortunately for himself, however. he led the loin heart.

East held on to his orig- inal three apades and the club king. but when a heart was led to the ace. he was squeezed. He could not afford to give up the club king and promote dummy'l queen. so he let go a spade, and South proceeded to Lake the ful- filling tricks with the no, king and eight of spades.
