Deal 101 - Dealer is North - NS Vulnerable Bidding : 1S (N) - 2C - 2H (N) - 3D* - 3S (N) - 4S * = 4th suit forcing. North has no Diamond stopper nor 3-cards Club support, so rebids his own suit. South reckons a 5-2 trump fit is good enough. Opening Lead : ♦K (E) = King of A K J x LTC = 6 + 7 = 13 losers | ||||
Declarer (N) counts 4 possible loser : one each
in Spades and Hearts and one in two in Diamonds.
Declarer Play Score = 4 x 30 pts + 500 bonus pts = 620 pts

Declarer (E) counts 5 possible losers : one in Clubs, two in Hearts and one or two in Spades (depending on how many he can discard or ruff in Dummy.
Declarer Play |
So instead (at trick 4) Declarer plays
a small Spade which is ruffed in Dummy. Dummy's ♦A is now lead on which North
discards another Spade. Dummy (at trick 6) then cashes
his ♣Q followed by a low Club
ruffed by Declarer with his ♥7. Score = 4 x 30 trick pts + 500 bonus pts = 620 pts |
