In every contract, it's a good idea to count your winners. If that doesn't give you a warm feeling, count your losers too, as sometimes they don't add up to thirteen! In this case you have nine top winners: five trumps, three diamonds and A, and a tenth can be generated by forcing out the KJ. Unfortunately, as you have a spade loser, you can only afford to lose one heart. If you were to play A and lead towards dummy, you might find both missing heart honours with East. Alternatively, if you take a double finesse in hearts by leading from dummy, West might be lurking with them both. What to do?
