(1) Preemptive
East wins the opening lead with the KD and continues with the AD. Plan the play

Im looking at hand 2 and am wondering . . . ten top tricks . . . are trumps splitting 4-1,5-0, something anything bad happening?

Both East and West are void in spades until u play hgearts that they ruff? The sly east sneaks an Ace of Spade from his sleeve and call the director on you?

Or should are answers contain what to do if trumps are 5-0 and other bad things?

When Giving answers you must always assume beast defence! Also trumps braking badly, altho sometimes if trumps or side suit break badly then you cannot make it, therfore you assume what you need is right!



DO NOT FORGET THAT THERE IS ALSO A DEFENCE QUESTION SOMEWHERE
