9♦ Kg♦ 4♣ 4♦
Remark (Trick 7).—Y, dropping the nine of diamonds, may be taken to have no more, as, not being able to win the trick, he is assumed to play his smallest. The remaining diamonds are therefore with B.

9. Y B↷ Z A
3♣ Knv♣ A♣ 2♣
Remark.—Z, with ace, queen, second hand (see his hand below), follows the usual rule (see p. [86]). It is open to argument whether Z should depart from rule in this case. But Z's hand is not the one under examination.
