Double dummy analyser: makeable contracts
At the other table 6heart was reached. Right declarer, wrong contract. It wasn't a good hand for doubletons and again the defence did not find the best lead (a trump), so declarer should have made 6heart ... but didn't. The correct line is to win two clubs ditching spades, diamondA, ruff a diamond, heart to hand, ruff a diamond, spade to the ace, draw more two rounds of trumps and play on diamonds. On a trump lead the contract has no play.
