 An easy game
 
 
 A simple board.
  -Lead, so no losers in this suit. In the red suits 2 losers. So only 2   -losers are allowed.Try trick1:  10. Louis Stift
 The bidding goes on
 
 
 The contract is a little high. Let us assume that   J drops. Most people lead small is encouraging, strange in the suit bid by West. You’ll have to decide who has   Q, the    are divided 3-2. Louis Stift
