The play was simpleClub to the A; Club Ruff; A of Diamonds, pitching a spade;Spade to the A; Club Ruff; Diamond Ruff; Club Ruff; Diamond Ruff (with 7); spade ruff;, Diamond ruffed with the J; Spade ruffed with the 8 and (incorrectly) with the K. Endplay for an important doubled overtrick.

I'd have thought reasonable play would go: Club to the A. Heart to the Q (J falls). Check and see if RHO is Zia, then ruff a diamond, and heart to the 10, A, Diamond A, and ruff a diamond just before claiming seven. but perhaps I'm getting silly.

Charlie Brown was the bridge dummy, not the dummy who played the hand

When I first looked at this the cross ruff route is the first thing that occured to me.

P.S. Why on earth did East dbl!

Hopefully me and Charlie Brown will run into some of them tommorrow night!

Oh, that was you?! Really, I didn't know, or I'd have marked the ID for reference.

Oh no, sorry to confuse. I was not playing.

That was my first thought when I saw the thread.
