Hand 3: Count Winners and Losers in a Suit Contract |
Show Detail |
North-South can make 12 Tricks in Spades but a couple found themselves in Four Hearts and went off although they can make it
The key to making Four Hearts is to remember to count Winners in a Suit Contract not just losers.
NS Have 2 Spade winners, 3 Heart Winners and the ♣ A
A second Club Trick and three Diamond Ruffs is therefore enough to bring this contract home.
The right play is not to draw Trumps but play SA, D Ruff, SK, D Ruff, CA, and a Club.
Now West can ruff a Club or Spade but is endplayed
