Out of Safe Lead

The city of dreams, Mumbai, finally got relief from its hot and humid climate as rains lashes! The rains in Mumbai come along with traffic jams and potholes marmalade!! Yet, the monsoon is something Mumbaikars eagerly wait for!

West led the §Q and continued with the §J South ruffed the second club and drew one round of trumps before playing a low diamond toward dummy. East won his ¨Q and led his §A, which South ruffed. Another low diamond went to West’s ¨J and the game was lost. West was due another diamond and instead of ten tricks, South had only nine.

After ruffing the second club, South should lead a trump to dummy to ruff dummy’s last club. Another trump is led to dummy and the singleton heart is led to South’s ©10 and West’s ©Q. Since West is now out of safe leads, no matter what he does South gets home with a tenth trick.
