* Baron: strong No Trump type

If East has opened 3club you can win clubQ lead, draw trumps, ruff a club and run the diamonds. With the certainty that West started with no more than two clubs you can lead a heart from dummy and cover East's card - knowing that West will be end-played. Of course if East has not pre-empted originally then you'll have to read the cards well to make 6spade!
