            (5th blackened icon along bottom line)|pg||st||nt|            Sometimes you need to set up second suit before drawing trumps 

           since you might need trumps on table to take any force
         
            that the opposition might throw at you|pg||st||nt|
               West is about to lead @HA   plan your play|

       initially you have 7 winners|hc|sa,sk,sq,sj,da,ca,dk|cs|4|at|

     {so you will have to find 3 more tricks}|pg||lc|sa,sk,sq,sj,da,ca,dk|nt|
      If the Spades break you will get one more from the 5th Spade in hand.
      If you can dislodge both the @CK and the @CQ then the clubs should provide 2 more tricks|cs|2|at|

   {Let us see if there are any possible problems}|pg||nt|        Presumably the opposition will continue Hearts and cause us to ruff the second trick, reducing our trumps to four.
        If we were to draw trumps in three rounds we would then have to give up lead twice to establish dummy's clubs and each time the opposition get in they are going to play Hearts and we will lose race to establish that tenth trick|cs|4|at|           {unless}|pg||nt|
        we delay drawing trumps so that when they do play more Hearts,
        if need be, we will be able to ruff in dummy and not deplete our own trump holding.
        |cs|2|at|
    {Finally and most importantly, the most Vital card in dummy is the ENTRY CARD the @DK}  |pg||nt|
             West can now play and  wins first  trick with the @HA|

     He continues with a second high Heart which we ruff|cs|4|at|   

      {We are now down to four trumps so be careful}|pc|hk,h8,h9,s3|pg||

    Let us start on the clubs NOW   by cashing the Ace|pc|ca,c7,c6,c3|pg||nt|
  we now play a second round dislodging their King, pleased to see the suit break 32|cs|3|pc|c2,ck,c8,c5|pg||nt||cs|3|at|
             {since we have not drawn trumps and there are no more Hearts 
             on table West is unable to FORCE US with another Heart
             so sensibly switches to Diamonds}|cs|2|at|
              {we of course win in hand RETAINING THAT VITAL @DK Entry Card} |pc|d4,d2,dj,da|pg||nt|
 Now that we have knocked out one High Honour and have not been forcrd with a third round of hearts we can proceed to draw trumps in three rounds|cs|3|at|

                         { we win our @SA}|pc|sa,s4,s2,s5|pg||nt||cs|3|at|

  {we cash our @SK}|pc|sk,s8,s6,s9|pg||nt||cs|3|at|

     {We cash the @SQ drawing the last trump, still with a trump in hand}|pc|sq,h2,s7,st|pg||nt|

     Now its a matter of dislodging the @CQ|cs|3|at|

                 {We play @C4 as East wins his Queen}|pc|c4,h3,c9,cq|pg||nt|   
   East wins and plays a Heart now BUT|cs|3|pc|hQ,sj,h4,d3|at|

      {we still have one more trump and can merely ruff it}|pg||nt|we now go over to dummy's carefully preserved entry to enjoy those lovely established Clubs|cs|3|at|

    {we play @D6}|pc|d6,d5,dk,dq|pg||nt|
    We cash the first established club in dummy|pc|cj,ht,d7,d8|pg||nt|

      we cash the 2nd established Club in dummy|pc|ct,hj,d9,dt|pg||nt|            
          we have made ten tricks  from
          3 natural trumps, 2 Diamonds, 1 club, 2 Hearts being ruffed and 2 established Clubs|pg||nt|               You may now look at all four hands to see how the hand panned out 
               and what problems would have befallen you had you
               drawn trumps too early or played that @DK too early.|md|2SAKQJ3H7DA976CA42,S84HAK432DT854CK7,S762H86DK32CJT986,ST95HQJT95DQJCQ53|sk||pg||bt||nt|
     So sometimes you need to be aware that if you have a second suit to establish|cs|4|at|    
     
            {you might start on that suit straight away while you still have a trump 
            in dummy to take care of any forces}|cs|3|at|
