9. Y B↷ Z A
Qn♥ 10♥ 3♥ Knv♥
Remark (Trick 9).—A's finesse is unlucky. He has no indication as to the position of the queen. The finesse must not be judged by the result. It is generally right against one card if the success of the finesse wins the game.
Tricks 10 to 13.—YZ make two tricks in diamonds (see their hands below); and
YZ win the odd trick.
