ILLUSTRATIVE HAND NO. 7

TRICK 1.--As there are but six trumps in the two hands, Z

knows that one adversary must hold at least four trumps, and should

the force be taken and the trumps led, the adversaries would make

the entire suit of diamonds. Z must wait until Y is able to take the

ruff, in this way keeping his own trump strength intact.

TRICK 3.--A is placed in a difficult position.

TRICK 7.--With the best trump against him, Z must force the

commanding trump, for, no matter how the adversaries play, the spade

suit must be brought in.
