Notes on Illustrative Hand No. 6
Trick 1.—A leads from his only four-card suit. The dealer plays the ace second in hand in order to trump his losing diamond.
Trick 2.—The dealer false-cards so that the adversaries will not know that he holds the queen.
Trick 3.—As A led the deuce of diamonds, showing but four cards in the suit, the dealer knows that B has one more diamond. He therefore, before leading trumps, allows dummy to trump a losing card.
