West led the King of chips m am Effort to get a look at Dummy before deciding How to defend then shifted to a Low heart. Declarer had no idea How the cards Lay and took the Normal finesse of the Jack losing to East a Queen. Back came a Trump. Declarer cleared the enemy Trumps then cashed the Ace of diamonds and finessed the Jack. In with the Queen West underfed the Ace of hearts once More and Declarer not surprisingly chose to finesse the nine. East a ten won and there was no reason not to return a heart. When Declarer had to follow West Sace became the third under trick. The 300 East West gained for this Effort gave them a top score.
