mb|3D|nt|Jsitarz:  Names please|pg||
mb|3H|nt|ady: e/w can make 12 tricks in spades on the lie     will likely play in 4 spades|pg||
nt|TopWizard:  So we're underway|pg||
mb|4C|nt|TopWizard:  N-S have nothing further to add|pg||
mb|4H|nt|TopWizard:  So they do :)|pg||
mb|4S|mb|p|mb|p|nt|shengabus:  North gives a helpful prod into the 4@s game.|pg||
mb|p|pc|d3|nt|TopWizard:  N certainly has no more bids, but makes a challenging lead|pg||
nt|shengabus:  Make declarer guess at trick 1|pg||
nt|shengabus:  attacking dummy's long suit|pg||
nt|shengabus:  Well, it feels like someone has a singleton, but which opponent is it?|pg||
nt|shengabus:  But rising Ace here -- there probably aren't enough tricks.|pg||
nt|TopWizard:  Hampson has few losers, but also few winners without @d's|pg||
nt|shengabus:  An interesting question by a spec -- Polish tend to lead 2/4|pg||
nt|TopWizard:  At this level, the lead could easily be from the @dK|pg||
nt|shengabus:  But north has led the 3 from K43 ...|pg||

nt|TopWizard:  Hampson passes the first test|pg||
nt|shengabus:  Another kibber is suggesting that since 4@c shows some @d support (?), the @d3 may be indicative of a club honor.|pg||
nt|shengabus:  i.e. suit preference|pg||
nt|TopWizard:  That seems quite deep :)|pg||
nt|shengabus:  I agree. First hurdle passed -- now spades from the top?|pg||
nt|TopWizard:  Hampson would really like to lead the @s9 from dummy, perhaps should have played @dQ from dummy Yuan?|pg||
pc|hJ|nt|shengabus:  I suppose it's even possible that your tricky opponents have ducked the @d from K6|pg||
pc|hQ|pc|h2|nt|TopWizard:  A "scissors" coup, breaking the defender's communication.  N can give a ruff, but the trumps will then split and the @d's will run|pg||
