If west leads a high heart, and east pitches a club, south ruffs low and exits in clubs to west's hand. West, force to exit in clubs or hearts, must allow south to ruff with the nine in dummy or eight in hand, respectively, unless east ruffs high. Eventually, south gets to pitch a losing heart on a spade. Say they lead a club to the ace, and a club back to the jack, queen, and king. South simply continues with a high diamond, and west is forced to ruff and south scores a long trump.
North wins the first heart, then attacks spades.
West wins the second spade, leads a low heart to east, who then leads a club to west's ace and a club. West cashes a heart and leads a low club to the jack, queen and king. This is a rare par-zero deal of complexity three. South can make exactly six tricks in any contract.in any contract. Go to previous page.
