If using HELD it would be \C7. If McKenney or Revolving it would be \D2.

If East leads a club to West's \CA the contract is one down, but if East leads

two clubs on dummy's diamonds.}

{North leads \HA followed by \HK after South has encouraged with \H10.

When West plays \HQ, North knows that both South and West have no more hearts.
East’s \HJ is now a winner, so North plays another round of hearts to be ruffed
by South.

If declarer overruffs with \SQ, he will lose two more tricks to \SJ and \DQ for
one down.

If declarer simply discards \D5, he will be able to make the contract by taking
the remaining 10 tricks.}

{After East leads \HA, \HK, \HQ, and \H10, West wants to signal for a spade
lead using their agreed discard system. 

Using HELD it is difficult and best perhaps is \C3 to discourage clubs and
hoping partner guesses you don't want diamonds. Using McKenney discarding \D8
or using Revolving discarding \C3 are clearer signals for a spade.

Note that if North does not lead spades immediately after the hearts, then
declarer can make nine tricks in the minors.}

{With no honour sequence, South leads fourth highest \H4 from his longest suit.
North wins with \HA and returns \H9. Declarer plays \H6 followed by \H10.

Winning economically with \HJ, South reasons that the only missing hearts are
\HQ7. Hoping that North has one, South continues with \HK. When declarer's \HQ
falls under \HK, North cashes \H8 and \H2 to defeat the contract.

When South is winning hearts North's discards should be trying to signal for a
diamond lead.\n
If using HELD \D6 followed by \D2 would do the job.\n
If McKenney it would be \S10 (not spades so higher ranking\n
of diamonds and clubs).\n
If Revolving it would be \S2 (down the ranking to diamonds).

South switches to a diamond and North wins with \DA. Declarer now has all the
remaining tricks, but we've taken the first six to put the contract two down.

{With no honour sequence, West leads fourth highest \H4 from his longest suit.
East wins with \HA and returns \H9, declarer playing \H6 followed by \H10.

Winning economically with \HJ, West reasons the missing hearts are \HQ7. Hoping
that East has one, West leads \HK, but East discards \D2. What should West lead
to trick 4?

On the third round of hearts, partner discarded \D2, so does not want diamonds
led. Looking at dummy's clubs and knowing that declarer must have at least two
for a 1NT opener, it is unlikely that partner wants clubs, so spades is the
only option.

East wins two tricks with his \SQ and \SA to defeat the contract.

Declarer now has all the remaining tricks, but we've taken the first five to
put the contract one down.
