But no rules can Ever substitute for common sense. After East a minimum 15-17 Point no Trump opening bid North South stretched a Little to get to the Spade game. It might seem that Declarer most lose two heart tricks and one each in diamonds and Spades but watch How the play developed. With no indication of what to Lead West chose the wrong red suite a Diamond Salvo would have settled matters at the opening gun. Declarer cleverly covered with Dummy a Jack and East a King won. With no Good return East chose to exit with a Trump. West grabbed the Ace and thinking that Gold had been struck with the opening Lead reverted to the eight of hearts. East took his Ace but that was the last trick for the defense after drawing Trumps Declarer was Able to discard a Diamond on the ten of hearts. From East a Point of View the desirability of a Diamond Lead from partner is Manifest. Therefore East should try to convince partner that a heart continuation would be futile. That can be achieved easily enough. East should win the first trick with the Ace of hearts not the King now when West gains the Lead it seems that the defenders must score two tricks in the minors to defeat the contract. Since there is no place for Declarer to Park any club losers West should shift to a Diamond. That allows the defenders to collect the four tricks that Are their due. Q.
