3NT is a ‘Walk in the Park’

by Marc Chawner

 

You are South and you are feeling very confident in your 3NT contract seeing that there appears to be plenty of tricks.

However, you suddenly realise that the 3 high Clubs in your hand make it impossible to cash your 7 top Club tricks.

You cannot afford to duck a round of Clubs seeing that the defenders are poised to cash their 4 additional Heart tricks. (Hearts are 5-3).

You are feeling very ‘Unhappy’.

However, when I tell you that the Clubs break 2-1 and that the defenders play 4th highest leads, you should be feeling very ‘Happy’, seeing that there is now a 100% way of making the contract.

What is it?
