The dealer makes a little slam.
Notes on Illustrative Hand No. 8
Trick 1.—By playing the king of spades second in hand, the dealer hopes to win two tricks in that suit.
Trick 2.—As the adversaries must make one trick in the club suit, Z tries to place the lead in A's hand so that the queen of spades may be led up to.
The eight of clubs is a clever play. If the king were led, A would know positively that Z held the ace.
Trick 3.—The leader has but little information to guide him in his next play. He does not dare to lead the hearts, as it may establish that suit against him; the lead of the queen of clubs is tempting; but judging from the development of the hand the ace of spades is probably his best play.
