A
deal from an online match.
Dealer E Love All.
After East's opening weak two spades you reach five clubs on the above auction. West
leads the diamond king which you win and cash the
top clubs in dummy with everyone following.
What
now?
Solution You
need to get back to hand to draw the last
trump. If the diamonds break three-one you are
in danger of losing a diamond and a diamond ruff.
With
no direct entry back to hand you should play the
spade king then, if the player with the spade ace
also has a singleton diamond, the defence cannot
get their diamond ruff.
