Safe defensive play saves four hearts contract in bridge
In a four hearts contract with West leading king of spades, the winning method is to win the spade lead draw trumps and cash A K diamonds, then discard the five of diamonds with dummy’s jack of spades instead of finessing. This safe line forces West to give up a lead, eliminating reliance on favorable card location and reducing luck.
