E_1410-board 1: 3♠ = Stronger than 4♠.
4♣ = Honour control.
5♣ = Three keys (two aces and the trump King).
6♦ = One king.
You must first ruff two losing ♥. When the Queen drops, one ruff is enough. Twelve tricks are now available but how about a thirteenth trick? Well, you can make it if either opponent holds four ♣ and at least five ♦. Ruff a ♦ and cash King and Jack of ♠ to check how the suit breaks. Ruff another ♦. Cash the last trump and the Jack of ♥. East is squeezed between ♣ and ♦.
