The role of declarer bears analogy to that of the detective in a niystcry story. There are cliics in eiery bridge hand, w-hcther thcy appear during the bidding or the play.

The derlarer is supposed to gather all the cities, lntcrpret them, draw the appropriate in- fert-nccs, and then execute his plays on the basis of what he has learned about the defenders” cards.

An example of good detective work 1! given in today's hand. The bidding by South was a lit-

The king of spades was led. East took it and returned a dis- mond. Declarer ruffed, drew East's trump. and led the king of clubs. East won and returned his last diamond which South ruffed with his last trump.

Declarer had already lost two spades and a club and had to make the rest to make the hand. With five tricks to go. South had only four sure winners.

He led the ace and king of hearts and then cashed the lack of clubs. The four of clubs was next played from dummy, East produced the six. and Satith. whosc last two cards were Q-8 or clubs. had to decide which to play.

with the fate of the hand rest- ing on this one decision, the prob- lcm was to dctermine whether East's last card was a club or a hesrh

if he had also been dealt the queen of hearts. So declarer fl- ne.-acd the cieht. of clubs.
