This was Board 26 with East declaring a 4 Heart contract. South led the Club 3 and North won the Ace and Queen of Clubs continuing with the singleton 2 of Diamonds.

Declarer has to play the trump suit for the loss of only one trick (to the Ace). A small Heart is led and the Heart 10 is inserted. This works as the only card to beat the 10 is the Ace. The Queen is picked up by another small Heart lead from the East hand and all is well.

The hand record reported that only 9 tricks were available to East in a contract of 4 Hearts. Can you solve this problem and describe the defence which beats the contract?
