Deal 25	♠ 6 3 ♥ 7 5 4 ♦ 7 6 4 ♣ A K Q J 7		South plays 4♠. West leads the ♥Q. Losers: ♠ 1 : ♥ 1 : ♦ 2 : ♣ 0 : Total = 4 You have plenty of ♣ winners in dummy but you must be careful because there are no outside entries. You win your ♥A and play ♠A and ♠K, both defenders following suit. The ♠Q is still out. To make sure you get to enjoy those ♣ winners you should continue with another ♠, forcing out the ♠Q. The defense will now take a ♥ if they are smart, but the rest of the tricks are yours because you can run the ♣ suit without anyone trumping in. Click NEXT to see the full deal.

Deal 25	♠ 6 3 ♥ 7 5 4 ♦ 7 6 4 ♣ A K Q J 7		Think through what would have happened if you had not forced out the ♠Q. East would have used his master ♠Q to ruff the second ♣, before you had taken any discards. You would still have to lose a ♥ and two ♦s.  Deal 26
