~ I prefer 4spade!

When first given the hand as a problem and after I had decided to pay attention to the task in hand, I suggested that it looked like a classic partial elimination. Win the diamondK, spade10 to the ace, small back to the spadeK, three rounds of clubs ending in hand and exit with heartK. West has to win, and after cashing another heart he has to give me a ruff and discard.

4spade made, and another brilliant analysis by the resident 7NoTrumps.com waffler. Er, no.
