Deal 4	♠ K Q J ♥ A 8 6 2 ♦ Q 6 3 ♣ 10 9 4		South plays 4♠. West leads the ♦5 on which you play dummy's ♦3. East wins ♦J, plays ♦A, then ♦2. Losers: ♠ 1 : ♥ 0 : ♦ 2 : ♣ 1 : Total = 4 You have already lost the 2 ♦s and you sure can't escape losing the Ace of trumps. So you must not lose a ♣ trick. So your Plan will be to pull trumps, then finesse East for the ♣Q. You ruff the third ♦, play ♠s until the ♠A appears. When you regain the lead you pull any outstanding trumps, play one high ♣, (in case someone has a singleton ♣Q), then enter dummy with the ♥A and make the ♣ finesse. Half of the time you make the contract, the other half you don't. Click NEXT to see the full deal.
