CRUCIAL ENTRY






AMIDST a Long spell of bad cards, it is easy to fall into the rhythm of mindlessly following suit. However, the brilliance of bridge is that at any time one meticulous play can transform not only the fate of the contract, but your entire score.

West led 9 and East took his Ace and returned 7. South won, drew trumps and then led 7.

West played low: declarer tried 10 from dummy and East won with K. East played Q, which declarer trumped. Now, South led his diamond nine and West rose with diamond Ace. However, when West led a club, declarer could rise with Ace and discard his club Queen on the established diamond Queen, securing his contract.

When the diamond is first led, West must rise with diamond Ace and switch to a club. Now, if declarer plays low from dummy, he loses the trick and, if he rises, he has lost his crucial entry back to dummy.
