NOTES ON ILl.u.s.tRATIVE HAND NO. 5
TRICK 1.--A opens his longest suit with the fourth best card.
TRICK 2.--B returns his partner's lead.
TRICK 3.--A continues with his suit in order to establish it, as he holds the K of diamonds and the Q of clubs for re-entry.
TRICK 4.--The dealer has the choice of three suits, the spades, clubs, and diamonds being of equal length. If he leads a spade he takes away the re-entry card for the dummy's club suit. If he takes the lead in the dummy and attempts to catch the K of diamonds by leading the Q up to the A, he gives A an opportunity of making his two hearts and of saving the game. In order to win three by-cards and the game, he must prevent A from getting the lead; he therefore leads the club and allows B to win the trick.
TRICK 5.--The dealer must play the A of diamonds; for if the clubs fall evenly the rest of the tricks are his.
ILl.u.s.tRATIVE HAND NO. 5
_Keeping the Hand Holding an Established Suit from Getting into the Lead._
The score is 24 to 0 against the dealer, Z, who makes it no-trump. A leads for the first trick.

The dealer wins ten tricks.
NOTES ON ILl.u.s.tRATIVE 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.
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.
ILl.u.s.tRATIVE 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.

The dealer makes a grand slam.
NOTES ON ILl.u.s.tRATIVE HAND NO. 7
TRICK 1.--The scheme which the dealer must adopt for the play of the two hands is to exhaust trumps and to establish the club suit. Holding the A, Q, and J of diamonds, in order to catch the K, the lead must come from the dummy; and so that he may lead up to his tenace in trumps, the dealer trumps the Q of hearts.
TRICK 2.--As the finesse succeeds the dealer must place the lead in dummy so that he may again lead through the K of diamonds.
TRICK 3.--The dealer holds too many clubs, so must use the A of spades to get the lead in dummy, even though it clears the spade suit for the adversaries.
TRICKS 4 AND 5.--The trumps fall evenly, leaving the dealer with the last trump.
TRICK 6.--The K of clubs, being guarded, must make.
ILl.u.s.tRATIVE HAND NO. 7
_Trumping Your Own Trick to get the Lead into the Right Hand._
The score is 18 to 0 in favour of the dealer, Z, who has a game in and makes it diamonds, having four honours.

The dealer makes a little slam.
NOTES ON ILl.u.s.tRATIVE 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.
