How do you make the hand? *************************** Cash AS, KS(pitching a heart), and a low spade. A)if east ruffs, pitch a club. Win return. Ruff a couple clubs. Draw trump. Run trumps squeezing west in hearts and clubs. B)if east pitches a club, two ruffs in dummy will set the suit up. Losing only one diamond trick. So east pitches a heart. You ruff. AC. club ruff. Lead the last spade. East cannot ruff or pitch a club for it leaves the same position as discussed in A and B above. So there goes another heart. Ruff it. AK of diamonds and dummy is now good except for the QD. Taking 12 tricks for the contract.
