In most deals declarer's main objective is to make the contract. In attempting to meet this goal, he should not allow himself to be diverted by other factors that may arise in the course of the play. Consider this case where declarer might easily go wrong. West leads a spade to dummy's ace and the question is how to play the hand.

Let's say South leads a diamond dummy, attempting to establish his longest suit. East goes up with the king and returns a low spade through South's K-J. It does not matter whether declarer finesses or not; in either case the defenders' spades become established before dummy's diamonds. If declarer now attempts to make the hand by leading a club to the king and a club back, planning to finesse, he learns soon enough that West has the queen. The best South can cio at this point is concede down one.

The result is the same if declarer, at trick two, starts out by playing the king and another club. There is now no way he can negotiate a ninth tick. Yet there is a sure way to make the contract. South starts with eight tricks and all he has to do is find a ninth. He should play a low to the ace at trick two and lead a low club back towards dummy's K-9-6.

Then: 1. If West shows out, South goes up with the king and returns a club to the jack. 2. If West follows low at trick three, South inserts the nine, thus assuring three club tricks, come what may. 3.

If West follows suit with the ten or the queen, South is again sure of at least three club tricks. The safety play in clubs guarantees three club tricks and hence insures the contract against every possible lie of the cards, Sears Hear less than you used to?
