But South had been bawled out for not noticing dummy reversals before, so -photo by Wally Yerbowsky he mentally reversed the roles of dummy's and declarer's hands What is Donovan doing? (If Donovan's doing it, why is Pritchard smiling?) - ah, yes! Dummy had only three losers if clubs were ruffed properly and if the spade finesse was guessed correctly. After this preliminary planning, and with a vague idea of transportation to dummy's clubs worked out, South covered West's jack of clubs, losing to East's ace. Back came the club trey, on which West played the seven, dummy the ten, and South a diamond; West's high-low indicated the danger of a club ruff. South led the spade jack, and when E:ast failed to cover, overtook with his king - figuring E'ast to be un "always cover an honor" man and hence West to be the holder of the queen. The ten of spades was finessed and the ace taken, dropping West's queen and last black card. Declarer, now ready to finesse his own hand and endplay West, led a low heart and put up his ten, bringing out West's queen. The rest was easy, for South got a free red trick when West led and could trump a heart or diamond with dummy's last trump to get to its two good clubs. Thus dummy lost only a heart and a club. Nmice that if South had finessed his diamond instead of his hearts, West would have had a safe return. -phOTO by Wolly Heroowsky "Trivial hand" bragged South, as the game and rubber were -photo by Wooly Yerbodski This man is smiling because: scored. 1) He's lost seven consecutive elec­ "I gotta study," muttered West, as he walked off in a daze. -photo by Wallie Yerbowski 1.
