If both Defenders follow suit to the 1st heart trick,
Declarer follows up with playing the ♥K
at trick 2. If both Defenders follow suit once more
they will have only one more heart left. In this case : Declarer at
trick 3 leads the ♥4
to Dummy's ♥Q (capturing
Defender's last remaining heart) and the ♥10 will secure the 4th trick.
But if at trick 2 (as shown above) South had a
singleton heart, discarding a card from another suit
(here ♣3), Declarer must at
trick 3 now play ?
