As you can see at a glance, the stam depends on losing only one heart "trick. You lose the slam if you win the first trick In dummy and lead a low heart to your queen. You win the slam if you overtake the first triel with the king of spades and lead the Arst heart towards the dummy. You lose dummy's king to East's nee, but you can later fincuse through the jack to bring in the rest of the hearts,
Why is one play more correct than the other? How do you pick the correct line of play in a hand of this sort?

If the hearts are 4-0, how- ever, guessing won't help you. If West has all four of the hearts, he can surely get two tricks in the suit by playing the ace on your queen and the jack on your ten or nine.. If East has all four hearts, you can finesse through the jack, provided you And out in time,
Your analysis boils down to this. You can only guess which opponents has length in hearts, for the odds are exactly even The advantage of playing East for the length, rather than West, Is that you can cope with it even if East has all four of the hearts. The advantage is Blight, but any advantage better than none at all.
