But appearances arc deceptive As this hand from a rubber Bridge game proves. The auction was straightforward. After North a Power opening bid South knew where the hand should be played and got there via the direct route. West cashed the Ace of clubs and continued with the Deuce taken by the King As Declarer discarded a Dia mond from hand. The Ace and King of Trumps were cashed and Declarer was not Overly perturbed by the 4-1 split. A Low Diamond from the table was taken by East a King. That defender reverted to a club and Declarer was a dead Duck. If Declarer ruffed Low West would Over Ruff. If South ruffed High West a ten of Trumps would eventually score the setting trick. Down one. Its easy enough to protect against the bad Trump split and evil club distribution. Instead of cashing both High Trumps in Dummy Declarer should draw just one round of Trumps then Lead the Jack of clubs discarding another Diamond from hand when East covers with the Queen. The defenders can do no harm. If East plays another club Declarer can Ruff Low in hand since the High Spade on the Board protects against an Over Ruff. The Ace of hearts is forced out and eventually Declarer returns to hand via a Diamond Ruff to draw the outstanding Trumps. Any other return makes the play even easier. In either Case Declarer loses Only two club tricks and the Ace of hearts. As the cards lie Declarer also can get Home by drawing two Trumps and playing for a 3-3 heart split but that is against the Odds.
