Re: followup on test your play R1


			North
			S: A J 4 2
			H: K T 2
			D: -
			C: A K Q J T 9

	West				East
	S: -				S: K Q T 9 8 7 6 5
	H: J 9 8 7 6 5 4		H: -
	D: 9 8 7 6 5 4			D: K Q 2
	C: -				C: 8 7

			South
			S: 3
			H: A Q 3
			D: A J T 3
			C: 6 5 4 3 2

Contract: 6NT

Proposed solution:

1. If opening lead is diamond, then no problem.

2. If opening lead is low heart, play 10H from the board and 3H from hand.
   Next, run the clubs ending in the following situation

			North
			S: A J 4 2
			H: K 2
			D: -
			C: -

	West				East
	S: -				S: K Q T
	H: J 9 8			H: -
	D: 9 8 7			D: K Q 2
	C: -				C: -

			South
			S: 3
			H: A Q
			D: A J T
			C: -

   Now, play 2H from the board toward hand.
   
   2.1 If East throws a spade, play AH from hand.  Give East a trick of spade.
       You can still enter North by KH and claim the rest of spades.

   2.2 If East throws a diamond, play QH from hand.  Give East a trick of
       diamond.  South has the rest of the tricks.

   Either way, South can get 5 out of the last 6 tricks.

3. If opening lead is JH, one set.  

One observation: if South had had H: A Q 9 instead of H: A Q 3, then
he would have made 6NT against any lead.
