On defense every hand becomes an adventure because we cannot Trust any card partner plays. However there arc some situations where a defensive fals card cannot Hurt indeed it might even be mandatory to protect a holding. This example is from last years world team championship. With two four card majors. North routinely checked for a 4-4 fit Over partners two no Trump opening bid. When the heart fit was located North opted for the suit contract because of his ruffing value in clubs. West a Normal Lead of the ten of diamonds was taken in the closed hand and Declarer led a Trump to the Queen. West produced the six and had East routinely followed with the Deuce Declarer would probably have continued with the King of hearts since if both cards were honest West a six was More Likely to be a Singleton. However East made the obligatory fals card of the seven Declarer knew one of his opponents was trying to pull a fast one but he had no idea which. In any event he elected to continue with a heart to the Ace and As a result lost a Trump trick in addition to two Spades and a club. Despite East a excellent defense Declarer should not have committed himself in Trumps until he knew the Fate of the club finesse. If it fails he needs to Ruff a club on the Board and will not be Able to pick up the Trumps if West started with four unless Declarer takes a deep position. Therefore he should have led a club to the Queen at trick three. When West wins the King Declarer takes any return ruffs a club in Dummy and the Trump position clarifies itself when the King of Trumps is cashed.
