W. WENTWORTH 51. FINESSING TOWARDS WRONG HAND North (Dummy) A 9 4 2 A 10 9 7 8 6 5 THE West Leads 7 East South (Declarer) A AQ3 VKJ4J A A 8 The Bidding: South obtains contract for one no trump. Deciding the Play: West leads 7 of clubs; 3 of clubs is played from Dummy and East follows with Queen of clubs. What procedure should Declarer adopt to make game? The Error: Declarer leads Jack of hearts and East wins this trick with Queen of hearts, leads clubs and prevents game.

The Correct Method: Every effort must be made to prevent East from obtaining the lead to play clubs through Declarer. Every finesse should be taken by Dummy towards the Declarer's hand so that if the finesse fails West will be in the lead. Upon winning the first trick with Ace of clubs, Declarer plays Jack of hearts and overtakes it with Ace of hearts whether West covers with hearts or not. Declarer then plays 10 of hearts and finesses. Played in this manner two clubs tricks must be made and game is assured.

After winning tho Jack of clubs, Declarer throws the lead to West with 8 of clubs to make htm lead ur to Declarer. The Principle: When necessary. prevent opponent from leading through you by finessing toward'! opponent'! strong hand.
