Rather by luck than judgement you end up in
4♥;
rather than 4♠
which as no chance against best defence. Can you make the 10 tricks in 4♥
required for a great score?
The lead is ♦
Q followed by the J. You ruff this, and lead ♥
7, and a 3rd ♦
is led.. Cash ♠ AK and ♥
A then ruff the 3rd ♠ in dummy. Return
to hand by a ♣, and keep leading ♠s
until W parts with the master trump, so making the contract. If you first
play ♥ A or set the
♠s up before drawing 2 rounds of trumps
yoi can go down.
