Trick Manufacture in a Bridge Contract by Willy Nilly

Fifth Heart as Winner in Bridge Endgame
In the described bridge scenario the declarer aims to establish the fifth heart as the winning trick. At trick two the plan is to lead a low heart from the hand, hoping West covers or cooperates, allowing the declarer to win with the king of clubs and then play a second heart. When West subsequently leads a club to the dummy’s ace, the sequence hinges on timing and defender plays to secure the fifth heart as the decisive trick.
