- It makes on a minor-suit squeeze against East. You have to play it
- carefully, though, because of entry problems. Win the H7, draw trumps
- playing the 8 and 10 from dummy. Lead to the heart 10, cash the heart
- ace, diamond ace, ruff a heart with the jack. Now lead the 4 of
- trumps back to your hand and play out your trumps, pitching clubs from
- dummy, leaving this position with East still to discard:
