The lovely aspect of this deal, dear reader, is that I know you are going to succeed! Good bidding deserved it. If you decided to rattle off all the trumps and hope that someone is squeezed, then you are rewarded when West succumbs in the majors.

If you opted for drawing two rounds of trumps and then cashed three rounds of clubs, playing to ruff the last club in dummy, then that line is successful when East has to follow suit all the way.

Finally, if you decided to play West for both missing heart honours and took two finesses then you score 600.. Everyone happy! Well, what was your line?
