ILLUSTRATIVE HAND NO. 9

TRICK 1.--Z must save an entry card for the spade suit.

TRICK 2.--A refuses to part with the control of the

adversary’s suit.

TRICK 3.--Should Z not overtake the jack of spades, A would

again refuse to part with the control, and hence this entire suit

would be blocked. This situation frequently occurs and is often

misplayed. When your cards are in sequence and should you know that

the adversary is holding up, always overtake to obtain the lead so

that you can continue to establish your suit.

TRICK 4.--A cannot afford to lead any other suit and

continues with the diamonds.
