Deal 8     3NT OL: ♥4	♠ K Q 9 3 ♥ 8 7 3 ♦ Q 6 ♣ 9 7 6 4		Play the ♠6. East's ♠2 tells you he had an ODD number of ♠s, obviously 3. Since South also must have 3, you must take your ♠A on the third round, depriving dummy of the extra ♠ trick. South may now turn to the ♦ suit, but your side can win the first ♦ and drive out South's ♥K. You will win 2 ♥s, 2 ♦s and the ♠A, down 1  Deal 9
