nt|yorkbeach:  possible slow @d loser to consider as well|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  winning in dummy and taking the @d finesse will block the spades|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  but if the defenders are going to take a spade ruff then this will unblock the spades|pg||
nt|yorkbeach:  same contract in OR but Brogeland did open 1NT so has become declarer|pg||
