This
deal is from an EBU online duplicate
You
lead the nine of diamonds against four
hearts.
Declarer
wins in hand with the king, partner playing
the seven.
Declarer
now plays the ten of clubs to the king, ace
and two.
Declarer
now plays the spade off table to partner's
queen, which shows a holding of QJ10x(x),
the king and your ace.
What do you play now?
Scroll
down when you have decided.
You
need to stop declarer from ruffing two
spades in dummy.
It
looks as though declarer has a heart holding
headed by the ace and king to justify his
opening bid.
If
you switch to a low heart, if declarer
guesses right and plays the jack then he has
one spade ruff, five hearts, two diamonds
and two club tricks.
However,
if partner has 10xx of hearts a switch to
the heart queen will beat the contract as
partner will get a heart trick if declarer
ruffs a spade with the jack of hearts.
