South plays 4♠. West leads the ♦10, you cover and East plays the
three high ♦s.
Losers: ♠ 0 : ♥ 1 : ♦ 2 : ♣ 1 : Total = 4 To start with, you ruff the third ♦. You cannot avoid the ♣ loser, so you might think that ♥s must break evenly to give you a fourth ♥ trick. In fact, there is a chance that you might ruff the fourth ♥. Play exactly two rounds of trumps with the ♠A and ♠K. Then play ♥K, ♥A and ♥Q. If both defenders follow to three leads your fourth ♥ is good so you pull the last trump. If somebody shows out on the third lead and does not ruff then play your last ♥ and ruff in dummy. Return to your hand with the ♣A and pull trumps. Click NEXT to see the full deal. |

♠ 9 6 4 ♥ K 6 2 ♦ Q 6 2 ♣ J 7 5 3 |
You will always make the contract when ♥s split 3-3.
By pulling exactly 2 rounds of trumps first you can also succeed in the case where ♥s split 4-2 and the defender with the doubleton ♥ also has a doubleton trump. Introduction |
