Having escaped a club lead, before doing
anything else, you need to play three rounds of Diamonds and dump a losing club
from dummy. From then onwards, it will be plain sailing since you can cross ruff
the rest and bring in 3 Diamond tricks, 2 Minor suit cards ruffed in dummy and 4
trumps from hand. If the opposition are careless enough to crash their honours
you might even make an overtrick. You can also view
watch the following movie to see how the hand pans out. (You need bridgvu.exe
programme or BridgeBase programme on your machine already to view it ) and it is available free
