And now, spring is in the air!
Spring is the season of flowers
and scented breeze
(impossible in Mumbai), which
gladdens the hearts!
The bidding marks West with at
least 5-5 in the minors and it is
a pretty safe bet that the ♣A is
with West. Therefore you have a
potential spade loser and three
club losers.
Your best chance is to use the
spades to discard losing clubs.
You cannot afford to play
spades before trumps are
drawn, as there is some risk
that West, with a freak twosuiter
in the minor is void in
spades. If you take the ♦A and
draw trumps, you cannot come
to more than two tricks in
spades.
The successful line is most
elegant, first, let the ♦K win.
When West continues
diamonds (best), play low
again from dummy and ruff in
hand. Then draw trumps via ♥K
and a heart to dummy, followed
by the ♠Q, East will play low
and the ♠Q wins. Now play the
♦A and discard the ♠A.
Next comes the ♠J and you
ruff when East plays the King. A
trump to dummy then allows
you to cash the remaining
spade winners on which you
discard clubs. You lose just one
diamond and one club and
score seven hearts, three
spades and one diamond.
