Scoring: MP

S showed bal w/ five hearts and 20-22 HCPs.

4♥ S. Lead ♦Q.


I (South) won the lead and play ♠Q to tempt West to cover, thereby creating an entry to dummy for the trump finesse.

Is that correct play? Should West have ducked ♠Q?

Sorry don't remember exactly but I think I had no problems crossing to dummy with hearts, dummy had 87 or maybe 97, my own xx were small ones , I think 42.

Lol, have tried to fill in all the blanks. Some small pips might be wrong but let's assume the diagram is correct.

Well done Helene. Perhaps you should cash ♦AK before advancing ♠Q If it wins, then play ♥A and another. Ruff the ♦ return and and play ♠A and another still succeeding (on a slight misdefence?), if LHO has a miraculous
