Your lead of the 10 of clubs is won by partner's king and he returns the 3 of clubs, South following with the four and six. Declarer runs three rounds of diamorw

ds, your partner's king fal- ling pto the ace on the third round while you discard a

.club. How do you defend?

"What was partner's origin— al club holding? With KQJ3 or KQ3 he would not have

played the king at trick one and with KJ3 he would have returned the Jack not the 3. so you are forced to conclu— de that partner had only K3 in clubs and declarer, QJ64. But declarer bid diamonds and then spades so he must

rhave a singleton heart. Now

count his tricks. He has four in diamonds and three in clubs. The Ace of Hearts and dummy's king would give him nine so ignore that pos- sibility.‘And\if his single- ton heart is anything but x

the ace you can set the con—

tract for sure by pouncing on this trivk with your king of spades and leading the quen of hearts. It would be fatal to play low to this ‘ trick for South certainly has the A—Q of Spades (count

‘ his points) and the Jack of

spades would be his ninth trick. ' _ The missing hands:
