Hold up heart queen to block enemy communications
Declarer should allow West’s queen of hearts to win trick one. By conceding the first heart, South blocks West’s heart development and removes the need for a guess about whether to attack spades or diamonds first. If East wins trick two, hearts cannot be established. if West wins, he loses the heart entry. This holdup secures four notrump if diamonds are led first and prevents costly misdefense.
