Problem


The Auction:

West North East South
    2 Pass
4 Pass Pass ˇ4♠
Pass Pass Pass  
       
       

 

East opened with a weak preemptive bid – 2, South passed and West jumped to 4. North and East passed. South found the courage to declare 4♠.

West led the A. How can South win 10 tricks?

What would be the highest contract North/South could have made?

Dealer: East

Vul: None

Contract: 4♠

The contract of 4♠ can be narrowly made if South handles the trump suit with care.
