Cy won, led a club to dummy’s queen and played low from his hand on the next club. When West had to take the ace, Cy had four club tricks and 10 in all. Eventually, he end-played West with a spade to lead from the king of hearts.“Making five,” the Cynic said. “Next deal.”RETROSPECTI doubt that Cy retrospected this deal, but he misplayed.

When West plays the eight, dummy should put in the nine. East wins but has no more spades. If he leads a heart, Cy can rise with the ace and lead a second club. He wins three clubs, two spades,...
