Safety play

Step 1 of 4

Three tricks, guaranteed

Ace, jack, five, four in dummy; king, nine, six, two in your hand. The queen is missing and there is an obvious finesse: lead towards the jack and hope West has her.

You need three tricks, not four. There is a line that takes three against every layout of the missing five cards, including four to the queen sitting in the wrong hand. Find it.
