{6NT by North\n
10 top tricks. Knock out DA to get 2 more.


<b>MiniBridge</b>\n
Lead any card (H10 best, but any is fine).\n
12 tricks after knocking out DA.\n
Play Diamonds. \n
Reach dummy with SA or HQ.

<b>Bridge</b>\n
Open 1C, rebid 2NT. South jumps to 6NT.\n
East on lead: H10. Avoid "Ace of Diamonds lead to see dummy".

Trap to avoid: Trying for spades 3-3. This will create a certain loser, and
will only provide one extra trick.

Defenders: try to get them to count the hand.\n
If major led, discuss preferred signaling methods.

Can play it out, but also good hand to learn about how to claim.

If fast group, get them to play out, and ask them to count out each suit.\n
South: 4333\n
West: 4333\n
North: 3325\n
East: 2452

<b>MiniBridge</b>

Lead any card (a singleton is a good lead).\n
12 tricks after knocking out DK.\n
Draw trumps, play DA. \n
Reach dummy with top Spades.

<b>Bridge</b>

Open 1C, rebid 2H (jump, 1H is NF)\n
West bids 2NT (no need to jump). East bids 3C (now showing good 6-card suit)\n
West bids 4C. East bids 4D. West bids 4S. East settles for 6C.\n
S on lead: H 10

Draw trumps.

Trap to avoid: Playing to ruff a Heart. Playing for Hearts 3-3.\n
North keeps Hearts (suit bid by declarer).\n
South keeps Diamonds (suit held by dummy, can afford to discard one)

Ask everyone:\n
Do you think if Clubs broke 4-0, would that matter? (Answer, no, not this
hand.)

What to do if DQ is covered by the DK. (Answer: It will make no difference, the
trick total will still be 12.)

If they led a Spade, do we do anything different? (Answer: unblock DA before
3rd trump, and finish trumps in dummy. Advanced comment: If trumps are 4-0, you
have to leave one trump outstanding.)

Traps to avoid: Discarding Clubs on Diamonds. Getting blocked.

(Consider undoing the play and asking them to play it again if Heart led and
won in dummy.)

Ask East: how many Hearts did your partner have? (Five.)}

slam.\n

Draw trumps.

Traps to avoid: Playing on Clubs. Getting blocked.

Defenders: try to get them to count the hand.

South plays low card on Diamond lead (count, showing odd number). Ask North how
many Diamonds South has.

South keeps Clubs (the only suit where they have anything).

Advanced group: North should not signal their SA. Declarer may have a guess,
and telling everyone about the location of that spade is not helpful.

<b>MiniBridge</b>

Lead any card - any lead is fine, but approve of Heart and Diamond.\n
12 tricks after knocking out HA.\n
Draw trumps, play Hearts. \n
Reach dummy with SK or long trump.

Alternative line: draw trumps; throw Heart on Spade; lose Diamond; ruff Diamond
in dummy.

<b>Bridge</b>

Open 1C. South bids 3NT. Jump to 6C, or go via 4C and then Blackwood. \n
East on lead: D10 is better than heart. Discourage spade lead.

Defenders: try to get them to count the hand.

If D10 is led, and Jack played, make sure West plays Q. Otherwise, Q should not
be played.

Can play it out, but also good hand to learn about how to claim.\n
Remark on Spade duplication. Normally hope to make more than 3 tricks with that
holding.

Ask everyone (after declarer has chosen one of the lines): was there another
way to play it?
