Jaggy made 10 tricks on CK lead and continuation.
It looked like a fairly normal result. Either club or H lead results in 3 tricks for defence.
Until I saw the results and realized that most of the field was leading the HT, resulting in 11 tricks..

Thank you Sandeep. The hands and the problems faced come alive with your narrations. Thinking of the field and par actions and still getting the rough end. Tough.
Very instructive and enlightening thought processes in the ozone layer of bridge.
Let this be the 1st of many chapters to come in a great book !
All the best.
