Opening lead: Nine of

A six-spade contract, East-West, might have succeeded on a fortunate lie of the cards and some good guesswork. We'll never know.

East won the opening club lead with the queen and shifted to a low diamond. West won with his 10 and cashed the diamond ace. This was

followed by the ace of spades and West had to judge how to continue.

The play to trick one provided the solution. East would have won the first trick with the jack of clubs, rather than the queen, if he held that card. West concluded that declarer held the jack of clubs, so he reverted to clubs. East won with his ace and continued clubs. South, picked clean of side suit cards, had to ruff with the jack of trumps and continue with the trump king. East won with ace and persisted with another round of clubs, promoting a second trump trick for the defense. Plus 800! A beauty.

Note that declarer might have saved a trick had he false-carded with the jack of clubs at trick one. At the crucial juncture, West might well have continued with a spade rather than a club and South could have held his losses to -500, a small loss compared to the value of his opponents' game.
