  You reach 3NT and West starts out with the 5 of Clubs to East's Queen. East returns the 10, West overtakes and leads a 3rd round, East follows and you win with the Ace. How do you plan to attack the Diamonds?






















 






  West has to be kept off lead with their 2 good Clubs.
If you lead the AD and then finesse to the board,
you can't stop West if they have Q x x x.

Back





















 






  Nope, West could have the or Qx, Qxx etc .
They win and cash their good Clubs.

Back





















 






  Correct. West is the danger hand so you must immediately
take two finesses through them to guard against them having
Q x x x. You finesse the 9 and 10 then play the K and A.

Back





















 






  Nope, West could have the Queen alone or with little ones.
They win and cash their good Clubs.
