BRIDGE

BY STEVE BECKER

If acontractcan be madeonly

whenthe defenders’cards are

divided in acertain way,declarer

mustplayforthatdistributionto

exist.He layshis plans accord-

inglyand dismisses allother dis-

tributions.Hereisatypicalcase:

Westleadsthe kingofclubs,

wonbydummy’sace.Thesitua-

tionis far frompromising, since

South could easilylosethree

hearts, aclub and a diamond.

However, there is a good

chancethatWest,who over-

called,hasthe kingof diamonds,

in which caseone losercan be

loppedoff.Furthermore, dum-

my’sfourthdiamondoffersthe

prospectofsaving anothertrick.

But this latter possibilityis

complicated somewhatbythe

built-in block in diamonds.Thus,

suppose declarer drawsthree

roundsoftrump immediately

and leadsthe diamond queen.

WhetherWestplaysthe kingon

thistrickorthe next,Southis

unabletouse dummy’sfourth

diamond, andhegoes downone.

This complicationshould

startSouthonatrainofthought

thatwill leadhimto the win-

ning solution.He shouldcash

the Q-Joftrump andthen lead

thequeenof diamonds, leaving

onetrump atlarge.Itdoesnot

matter whetherornotWestcov-

ers; in eithercase, Southplays

three diamonds in succession,

ending inhishand.

As ithappens,Westcan’truff

thethird diamond, and South

makesthecontract, sincehecan

nextcrossto the kingof spades

and discard a loseronthe nineof

diamonds.

Itistruethatdeclarer runsthe

riskofthesecondorthird dia-

mond being ruffed, but,because

maryconsideration,hehas no
