The defence has four open tricks: 2 in Hearts, 1 in Clubs and the Ace of Diamonds pending. <strong>Why is this deal interesting then?<\/strong> Because it puts the emphasis on a very important area of bridge, which is to never forget than the opponent can&#8217;t see your cards. To avoid this disastrous scenario, you can create an illusion by <strong>covering the Ace with the King of Hearts<\/strong>. Imagine yourself in the shoes of the player sitting East. The situation is clear to him. West led his doubleton heart, 65, and South&#8217;s King of Hearts is bare, so it is out of the question to play a heart without facing the risk of establishing the Jack. East will underlead his King of Clubs, letting it run quietly, and your contract can no longer go down. All you have to do is play hearts twice to King-Queen to establish two tricks in that suit, allowing you to discard your 5 of Hearts. <strong>A nice magic trick.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Here is the full deal:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Deal-3-40-1024x934.png\" alt=\"Deal 3\" class=\"wp-image-73901\" width=\"512\" height=\"467\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>A defensive problem now.
