Deal 70	♠ 8 3 ♥ 6 4 ♦ 10 6 ♣ K Q 10 8 7 3 2		South plays 5♣. West leads ♦A, then ♦2. Losers: ♠ 2 : ♥ 1 : ♦ 1 : ♣ 0 : Total = 4 MAYBE East will have the ♠A and the ♥K. But maybe not. You do have an extra ♦ trick so you need to determine the best use you can make of that. First pull trumps. It takes one round. Play your other ♦ winner and discard one of dummy's ♠s. This protects you from losing more than one ♠. Enter dummy with a trump and lead the last ♠. Assume East has the ♠A. If he goes up with it you will be able to dump dummy's ♥ loser on your ♠K. If he plays low you put on your ♠K and you no longer have a ♠ loser. If it turns out West has the ♠A then your ♠ play didn't work. In that case you would enter dummy again and try the ♥ finesse. This plan is a winner if East holds EITHER the ♥K or the ♠A. Click NEXT to see the full deal.

Deal 70	♠ 8 3 ♥ 6 4 ♦ 10 6 ♣ K Q 10 8 7 3 2		It's always nice to give yourself two chances. With correct play you succeed when East holds the ♠A, but also if he holds the ♥K. The key play was dumping the ♠ on your ♦K rather than a ♥.  Deal 71
