You need trumps to break 2:2 After drawing trumps in two rounds, you
cash all the Hearts making sure you dump 2 clubs so that you have created a
void in clubs in your own hand. (NB you then have a reciprocal shortage in both
hands and you can cross ruff the last four tricks. You will have made 2 trumps,
5 Hearts, 1 club and 5 cross ruffs in the Minor suits. (NB 5NT is Grand Slam Force (Josephine) telling partner
to bid 7 of agreed suit with two of top three trump honours
