West's haste in trumping in with the heart Queen was fatal to the de- fence, for if he had simply discarded, South would have been forced to lose two trump tricks and a spade trick.

Answer: Your correct bid is four hearts. It is certain your partner holds at least a good five or six-card suit, so your three to the Jack are ade- quate trump support.
Score 100% for four hearts, 70% for three hearts, 40% for three clubs (your 'partner may pass).
West was now completely "stymied" If he led à diamond, Declarer would trump in, dummy and discard his los- ing spade. Hence West, chose to lead away from his spade King. South na- turally let the spade ride around to his Queen, then led a trump and dummy's Jack "forced" "the Ace." EastTM“*”
