The
problem was that Fishy didn't know what to
discard on the
 A.
If hearts were 3-3 or the
jack was doubleton, he should
discard a spade.
However, if the  Q
was singleton or doubleton,
he should discard a heart.
And if the Q
was
with East any number of times, and  J
was
fourth, he should discard a heart.
Harry
solved much of the problem by ruffing the
opening lead
and playing the A,
looking for the
jack. No luck. His next play was the A
looking
for the queen. Still no luck. Next the K.
Still
no jack. Now the K!
Success. Finally. The
Q
fell from East. Knowing his J
was a winner,
Fishy crossed to the  A
and discarded a heart
on the A,
ruffed a diamond back to his hand,
drew trump and made
the grand.
Had
the Q
not appeared, Fishbein would cross
to the A
and discard the J
on the A
hoping
hearts were 3-3.
