S Love All.
This
deal is from a Manchester League match last month.
You
reach three notrump on the above auction, where
three clubs is some form of checkback.
West
leads the spade three.
How
do you play?
Solution
If you play low from dummy East will win and play a club back. You rise with the ace and play the ace and king of diamonds. Only if East has three or four diamonds are you in danger. In that case West will need to have the king of clubs with sufficient length for the defence to take three club tricks. If
you try the queen of spades at trick one you are
in danger of going off if East continues spades
and you don't guess the diamonds.
