Cash HK and HA, play a S, and sit back - waiting for partner's S trick and +200.
Bridge is such a simple game ...

This is hardly anything more than a matchpoint double. It turned into a 100% score (it was going to be good anyway) due to declarer's misplay. After winning the AK of hearts, the spade shift is automatic. Declarer then pulled three rounds of trumps rather than testing diamonds after two rounds, and ended up losing diamond trick for two away.

This hand was played Dec 29, 2004, and how did Aruf do? He and his partner ended up with a 53.5% score and out of the "money". There is nothing here but what appears to be personal vendetta against Aruf. This is a nothing hand.
