Tricks AB, 5
YZ, 3
8. A Y↷ B Z
5♦ Knv♦ 3♥ 5♣
Remark (Trick 7).—Z properly concludes, as his partner has command of trumps (see Remark, Trick 3), that his discard (Trick 6) was from his weakest suit, notwithstanding the adverse trump lead, and therefore Z leads clubs. If Z mistakes the character of his partner's discard, and leads a heart, he loses the game (see pp. [105]-6, and apply the rules of play there stated to the present situation).
Tricks 9 to 13.—Y brings in the clubs (see his hand below), and
YZ win the odd trick.
