West led the jack of diamonds. When dummy went down declarer saw that there was a probable loser in each suit but, as long as trumps were not 4-0, there was a near-certain line to make ten tricks. He took the first trick with the king of diamonds, keeping the ace as an entry to the heart suit. At trick two he played the king of trumps and then switched his attention to hearts, playing the ace followed by the nine of hearts. After taking his king of hearts, West continued with the ten of diamonds. Declarer took this with dummy’s diamond ace and led the jack of hearts. East played the queen of hearts and declarer avoided the main trap of the deal and discarded his remaining diamond. (If he had ruffed, West could overruff, cross to East’s queen of diamonds and a fourth round of hearts would then allow West to make a second trump trick.) All the defence could do was to make one more trick with West’s queen-jack of trumps; the established ten of hearts would take care of

declarer’s club loser. The key to the hand was declarer realising that he had to make use of dummy’s heart suit and to do so required using dummy’s aces as timely entries.
