Bidding:  North opens 1 . South 1  and 

North bids 2 ; South 4 . All pass. Opening 

Lead:  Q . Count: 6 losers. 2 , 2 , 2 .

Plan:  Double Hook in ’s, ’s, and ’s.

Play: Win the A  in dummy and play the 3 
and put in the Queen (if East plays low). Play the 
10  and let it ride. East wins and returns a Club. 
(As good as any other return). Win the K  and 
play the J  and let it ride. West wins and plays 
the 8 . (Playing a Club will give a ruff and discard;
and playing a Heart will give a free finesse.) Win 
with the J  and pull the last trump with the A . 
Repeat the Diamond finesse: play the 10  and let 
it ride. If East does not cover play a small Heart to 
the 10 and West will win the last trick for the 
defense. You lost 1 , 1 , 1 ,  Made 4 .
