There are two finesse positions : a ruffing finesse in ♥ and a double finesse in ♣. Declarer must refuse the ♠ finesse and win the 1st trick with the A♠, then immediately procede with the ruffing finesse in ♥ on which he can discards the ♦ losers in his own hand. After that it is wise to take the first double finesse in ♣ before drawing Opponents remaining 2 trumps. Previous - Next
