This website provides an excellent tool for hand analysis. Here’s how it works:

• In the “Results” column to the right of this page, click on the date of the session in which the hand was played.
• Click on your pair in the overall rankings (in the “Players” column).
• In the upper right corner of the page that’s next displayed, click on the small gray box displaying the number of the hand you want to review/replay.
• When the hand is displayed, click on the “Play it again” button about midway down the page and to the right.
• Click on the “BSOL” button (but note that there are other means by which the hand can be analyzed and replayed).
• The next page displays the hand.  Each intersection of strain and declarer shows the best possible result given ideal defense and declarer play.  A hyphen indicates that a contract cannot be made by that declarer in that strain.  The box highlighted in yellow indicates the strain and declarer as played.
• Choose a combination of contract strain and declarer to analyze by clicking on that intersection.
• After selecting a strain and declarer, click the “Play” button.
• At this point the hand of the defender on lead is displayed.  Each card in that hand displays the maximum number of tricks that player’s side can potentially score if that card is led.
• Click that card, and the next hand in rotation will be displayed.  From that point forward the highlight the hand on lead and the number of tricks that can be scored -by that side - for each legal play available.

Enjoy!
