Links to replay the hands are below:
1. EAST Discards Keep one card in partner’s long suit if you think you may get in again http://tinyurl.com/y7s9eqtg - also protect your Kx. If both defenders have kept hearts, declarer should not risk the spade finesse, and will be held to 9 tricks.
2. There is only one club trick available to the defence, so East must overtake and lead into dummy’s weakness. http://tinyurl.com/l7fe6t3 Otherwise declarer has at least 12 tricks.
3. Partner signalled MUD, so does not have a doubleton. With that strong diamond suit in dummy, try to take some clubs. http://tinyurl.com/m67bqsr
4. Plus one on You lead a D from A 10 8 7 4 who has QD, when JD loses to KD. https://tinyurl.com/2by6hwdc
5. WEST What should West play on the 3rd club. East discarded a low heart, so should NOT have A or K – declarer has those, so your QH should be protected! https://tinyurl.com/y4vree2p https://tinyurl.com/ytg4sve7
