The Danger Hand





The month of October is here. Hope with it come the cool chills of the North as they make way for winter!

West leads the ♠7, East the 10 and South wins the J. South must play the diamond suit first. He  hould play the to dummy’s A and another diamond towards his 9 in hand. South has five sure tricks outside of diamonds, so South needs only four tricks from the diamonds to make his game. South knows from the lead and East’s play to the first trick that West has the missing spade honors. Knowing that West holds the AQ makes East the danger hand. It’s East and not West who can hurt South if he gets the lead. South’s play should be to keep East off lead. Simply finesse diamonds through East. When West shows out, South can claim 10 tricks. Nothing in the entire world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity!
