--- Found Endplays (4!H / 4!S) — curated strip-and-endplay candidates

These hands are scanned from all bba/*.pbn files by
[find_endplay_candidates.py]: South declares a 4-of-major contract, and
declarer's side holds an AJ tenace in one side suit (with East likely
holding the Q) plus solid honors (AK or AKQ) in another side suit so a
strip is feasible.

The teaching pattern: strip the side suits where you have winners, then
throw East in (typically with a heart or club) and force East to lead
into your tenace. This converts a 50% finesse into a 100% endplay.

Things to think about:
• Count your losers; if a finesse can be avoided, look for a throw-in.
• Strip the safe exits BEFORE the throw-in. Once East is in, every lead
  helps you.
• The thrown-in opponent should be the one holding the Q of your tenace
  suit.
