Unfortunately that counts Only in horseshoes not in Bridge. North a four hearts was a Cue bid in support of Spades. It showed a maximum no Trump in support of Spades and first round control of hearts while denying any lower ranking Ace. South elected to take a shot at slam despite the fact that there was a sure loser in diamonds. West led the King of diamonds and continued with the Ace ruffed in the closed hand. Declarer had to bring in the Trump suit without loss and the percentage play was to take a finesse. A Low Spade to the Queen won but when East failed to follow Declarer was stranded with a Spade loser and suffered a one trick setback. At the other table the contract was a More modest four Spades and Here too the Lead was the King of diamonds followed by the Ace. Declarer ruffed and elected to take the Spade finesse. But instead of leading a Low Spade South led the Jack had West played Low Declarer would have run the Knave and then taken another finesse to pick up the King so weal covered a approved to be equally unavailing. The Ace won and the Trump position was revealed when East showed out Declarer returned to hand with the King of hearts and led a Spade taking the marked finesse for the ten. Making four Odd with two Over tricks. Knowing the percentage play when holding 10 cards in the suit missing the King is Only half the problem. Leading the right card is As important to solving the Puzzle. Q.
