Suit Provides an Opportunity

Here is a juicy deal by ‘Apro’ sweet Dara!

Here is a long suit which provides an opportunity to set up two discards. The spade suit is more solid than it might first appear. West’s ♠8 lead is almost certainly top of a double ton and South can discard two diamonds from hand.

At trick one, declarer should play low from dummy, allowing his ♠9 in hand to force East to play ♠J. When East switches to ♦K, declarer can win, cash ♥K and overtake ♥Q with ♥A in dummy to lead ♠K. If East covers, declarer ruffs; if East plays low, South discards a diamond. This play can be made three times, providing the two discards required to pitch South’s diamond losers.
