Bridge hand analysis leads to notrump bid decision
In a four players bridge problem the correct play involves choosing to bid notrump. After a sequence where dummy loses a diamond and a heart is led from dummy, choosing the nine of hearts over the jack depends on which heart the opponents hold. The explanation notes that East likely holds the queen of hearts if they win the trick, else they lack it. The recommended lead is the nine to maximize chances by forcing the queen and allowing partner to win on diamonds and clubs. The final answer is to bid notrump with partner holding about seven diamonds to the king and jack.
