There was another way





West led the Q, overtaken by East’s K and allowed to win. South won the club return and led the J. West covered with the Q. South had to take this lest West would cash a pile of club tricks. When dummy continued with the 10, East judged to win. He got out with the J. South hoped that East could be conned into taking the first diamond. He led the
K, but East saw through that ruse and allowed it to win.

South decided that East would not let him get to dummy with the diamond suit but there was another way. South now cashed the top spades and put East in with the fourth spade. Having nothing but red cards left, East had to lead something that would allow dummy to gain the lead and South was able to reclaim the heart winners in dummy.

Education is all a matter of building bridges!
