It is probably not a good long term bet to leap to slam with this hand, but an opportunity to get imps back might not come up again in a 5-board challenge.<\/p>\n<p>West leads the &#x2666;10, and it is time to stop in order to choose a line and carefully plan the play.<\/p>\n<p>There are three potential losers, one in spades and two in diamonds. In order to make the contract, declarer has to assume that they will manage to play the spades for no losers and then they need to get rid of one diamond loser.<\/p>\n<p>There are two options to limit your diamond losers to one. The first is to discard one of dummy\u2019s diamonds on the &#x2663;Q and then to ruff one in dummy. This simple line will work every time the<br \/>\nspades are 2-2, as this is the percentage play for no spade losers. It seems like a good plan.<\/p>\n<p>The second option would be to establish dummy\u2019s fifth heart by ruffing them out. This line seems inferior to the previous one as it requires the hearts to split 4-3 on top of finding the spades.<\/p>\n<p>When playing my challenge on Funbridge, I followed this reasoning, took the &#x2666;A, played the &#x2660;A and saw the queen drop in East \u2026 I realised that I had made a critical mistake already by failing to<br \/>\nforesee this possibility when I made my game plan at trick one. Can you see why?<\/p>\n<p>Here is what happened after I saw the &#x2660;Q. I could not afford to play another spade, so I played the &#x2663;A and &#x2663;K, the &#x2665;A, a heart ruff, the &#x2663;Q pitching a diamond and a diamond. This was the position when East won the &#x2666;Q:<\/p>\n<table class=\"noborder\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding-top: 6px; padding-left: 15px;\" width=\"190px\" bgcolor=\"#e9e9e9\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1003\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.funbridge.com\/bundles\/funbridgewebsite\/images\/conventions\/S.png\" alt=\"S\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\"><span style=\"color: #000;
