Deciding Three Notrump Play in a Bridge Dilemma
In a three no trump auction with South as declarer, West leads hearts and East overcalls with jack. The expert solution suggests winning the first trick, crossing to dummy with a club, then back a diamond and finessing the nine if East follows. If West returns a heart, the plan yields two spades, a heart, four diamonds, and two clubs, maximizing material and simplifying play.
