Scoring: IMP

1♠ - 2♣
2♠ - 4♠


Opening Lead: ♣5

Plan the play.

First, I very much like the bidding. North on this hand is a genius, although some might argue a 4♥ bid on the second round might be better.. but blah.. .they need to learn to count.

Second, to make it is, well, easy, so we will leave that for others to solve.

Hehe. North should be commended on his aggressive bidding. Should it be warranted if his partner cannot make the contract?

By the way, it's not so clearcut. Can think of quite a few consistent layouts where the play to the first trick is different.

Prefer ♠J instead of small ♠.

East can have:
A8

53

Playing ♠J keeps ♠Q in hand, to ruff a ♣ high
