A Finesse Is Sure To Fail



As you would not expect West to be leading from ♠AQJ, you should place A with East. Once you do that, you should realise that Q will be with West. If East had Q, East would have responded. You play low on the first spade and West continues with J. 

You play low from dummy again and West continues with a third spade. You ruff and turn your attention to the trumps. 

The normal play in hearts with this combination is to lead to K and finesse J next if Q has not yet appeared. Here, you know the heart finesse is sure to fail. Therefore, cash K and A, hoping that West started with Q doubleton. And you are home safely! 

‘Failures are the part of life. 
If you don’t fail, You don’t learn. 
If you don’t learn You’ll never change!’
