Bridge TM By Steven Becker South dealer
North-South vulnerable. North holds Q9 2 and AK Q S 8 5 2. West bids, East passes, South opens. The play hinges on defense and trick selection as the contract unfolds with club and diamond cues likely shaping the match.

The column argues the contract could be made with careful play and proper risk assessment.
