  At 3NT West leads a Club and you win East's Jack with the Queen. You need 3 tricks from Spades and Diamonds, how do you play them?























 






  Nope. East wins and leads back a Club establishing the suit
for West while they still have a Diamond entry. Down you go.

Back





















 






  Correct! Get to the board with a Heart and lead a low Diamond.
If East wins the Ace you will get 3 Diamond tricks. If West has
the Ace they cannot lead a Club from their K x x x to your A 10.

Back





















 






  No. East wins and leads back a Club establishing the suit for West
while they still have a Diamond entry. Another contract bites the dust.

Back





















 






  Try again. East wins and leads back a Club establishing the suit for West
while they still have a Spade entry. Down down down.
