Moysian Fit

A Moysian Fit is a 4-3 trump fit.  The Play of the hand with a Moysian Fit quite frequently requires particular care in maintaining control of the trump suit, as they most frequently divide 4-2:

                   J54

                   AT2

                   K73

                   K862

AKQ73                    T98

9763                        54

T8                            9654

93                            JT75

                  62

                  KQJ8

                  AQJ2

                  AQ4

South gets to an excellent 4 contract as both 3NT, 5  and 5 don't make.  West starts with 3 top spades and South must discard on the third spade.  If South ruffs he will lose control of the trump suit and go 1 down.
