How Well this can succeed is demonstrated by this hand from a major National pair championship More than a Quarter of a Century ago. Sitting East West respectively were Eddie Taylor and Lew Mathe. The auction was routine. With a combined Point count of 28 in two balanced hands three no Trump should have been an easy game. Indeed looking at All four hands the Only question would seem to be whether the defenders can scrounge a third trick on defense. But watch what happened. Mathews Lead of a Low Diamond was based on one of his pet beliefs that it is rarely right to Lead from a four card suit headed by the Jack. Declarer played Low from Dummy and captured East a ten with the Ace. South immediately returned the nine of diamonds West covered with the Queen and the tables King won As East dropped the eight. A Low Spade to the King was per. Fitted to win and the four of diamonds was led. Convinced that West had led from a four card suit Declarer finessed Dummy a six and East was on Lead with the seven. Back came a heart West played the ten and the boards Queen won the trick. Another Spade to the Queen was gobbled up with the Ace and Mathe returned the five of hearts. Sure that the Ace was with East Declarer played Low from Dummy. For a Brief moment Declarer thought the contract was going to be Defeated when Taylor produced the ten but the defense had run out of steam. A heart to the Ace was the defense a fourth and final trick. Nevertheless just holding Declarer to nine tricks was enough to earn an absolute top for East West. Q.
