As declarer at 3NT, Tangle captured East's queen of diamonds with the ace, led a spade to the ace, took the A-K of clubs and led a third club to West's queen. (article 6)
The king of clubs is an entry to the king of spades, and South can return to dummy with a high heart for the good clubs. (article 6)
Chiu played a spade to his ace, cashed the diamond ace, ruffed a diamond on the board (West discarded a spade) and cashed the spade king, discarding a diamond. (article 10)
That meant he had to bring in the hearts for diamond discards, pick up the trumps and leave a trump in dummy for the diamond ruff. (article 3)
Cy expected to toss East in with the ace of diamonds for an end play, but East discarded craftily: He threw the seven of hearts and jack of diamonds early, saving the bare king of hearts and A-10 of diamonds. (article 8)
To enhance his reputation as a master technician, South gave himself an extra chance by cashing the ace of clubs first. (article 9)
South beamed and led a club to dummy's nine and Minnie produced the jack and cashed the queen of trumps for down one. (article 9)
