♠ J 10 5 3 ♥ K 6 ♦ K Q J 10 ♣ A 8 2 |
South is to play 4♠.
West leads the ♣K.
Losers: ♠ = 1 ♥ = 0 ♦ = 1 ♣ = 2 Total = 4 The ♣ lead was terrible for you as it exposes your 2 ♣ losers before you can establish a ♦ for a discard. If you start to pull trumps now the defense will grab their ♠A, their 2 ♣s and their ♦A. If you try to establish a ♦ they will do the same thing, just in a different order. What does that leave you?

It leaves you trying the only possible way you can make this contract, finessing East for the ♥Q to get a ♣ discard from dummy. You win the ♣A in dummy, play the ♥K, then return a ♥ to your ♥J. You then discard a ♣ from dummy on the ♥A. NEXT to see all four hands. |
