Bridge - The Scotsman, 18/04/13
The only possible problem in 7S is a bad trump break. If either opponent has J10xx you are down, but you can cope with a singleton jack or ten in the West hand: cash the king, dropping his honour, then cross to the ace to finesse on the third round. But this is not the real safety play, which caters for J10xxx in East. Start by cashing the ace of spades. If West drops the jack or ten play small to the king, uncovering the marked finesse. If West shows out on the ace you can finesse the eight, return to hand by playing ace and king of diamonds, and play your last trump. East splits his J10, leaving you with K9 over his J6 You have no trump to lead, but play a heart to the queen (you deserve some luck!) and run clubs till East gives in.
