Tricks 4, 5, and 6.—The dealer now proceeds to lead trumps, and, as he has no strength in clubs in his own hand, he throws away clubs from the dummy hand.
Trick 7.—Holding but six spades in the two hands, the dealer tries to force discards of spades.
Trick 8.—Forcing another discard with the best diamond.
Tricks 9, 10, and 11.—The spades fall, leaving dummy with the best spade and the ace of clubs as re-entry.
ILLUSTRATIVE HAND NO. 6
Allowing the Weaker of the Two Hands to "Ruff" before Leading Trumps.
The score is love-all. The dealer, Z, makes it hearts, having four honours in one hand. A leads to the first trick.
