Comment: Something is wrong in the hand record. The record shows that
Boyd, the West in open room, didn't ruff Robinson's DA at trick 11. If
so, then the result should be 3S making 3.
In closed room, Cayne made a mistake at trick 10. He should ruff
partner's DK and lead a club or a trump.
As we can see, defeders could get one more trick by leading two rounds
of trumps. But we shouldn't blame the defenders for not doing so
because it was not obvious at all where defenders' tricks came from.
Declarer might even have Qx of hearts.
