This
deal is from a duplicate at Bramhall
After
a standard transfer auction with South's one
notrump showing 15-17 points and his three
spade bid showing four card spade support
you decide to lead the three of hearts.
This
goes to partner's jack and declarer's ace.
Declarer
draws trumps in two rounds ending in dummy
and plays a diamond to the queen and king.
What
do you play now?
Scroll
down when you have decided.
There
is a danger that either declarer's hearts or
clubs are going on the long diamonds in
dummy, but has partner got the king of
hearts or the ace of clubs?
Counting
declarer's points solves this problem, he
has shown up with fourteen points so far
(SA, HA, DAQ) so cannot have the club ace,
so switch to a club.
