Against a
contract of 3NT♠K.
Suppose you decide to win this trick with ♠A.
You then cash ♦A,
both opponents following, so you know the diamonds divide 3:1 or
2:2. Can you now see a way to guarantee 9 tricks, no matter how
the East-West cards are divided?
Warning: This is not a misprint! There is a real
problem here - and you will be defeated unless you see it!
