What could be right in the abstract might be wrong Given the particular hand where the problem arises. Take North South a Diamond suit. If you need three tricks from the suit and know nothing about the distribution the Correct line is to run the Jack and if covered return to hand to finesse the nine. , if you can find out that West holds Only two diamonds the Correct play is to Lead Low and finesse the Queen then Cash the Ace. North South reached a reason Able four Spade contract in Quick time. North South were employing weak two bids and South s hand was classic at any vulnerability. West competed with three hearts and North whose hand increased in value since it was positioned behind the enemy strength could hardly hid less than four Spades. The defense started by cashing two heart tricks East following first with the seven then with the eight after which West exited with a Trump. Since there was no Way Declarer could avoid losing a club trick the Diamond suit would have to be brought in without loss if the Eon tract were going to succeed. Before committing to any line Declarer set about learning More about the hand. After drawing the outstanding Trump on which West discarded a heart Declarer ducked a club to West s King. The club continuation was taken with the Ace and a club was ruffed High. Declarer returned to the Board with a Trump and ruffed the table s last club As West discarded another heart. West was now known to have started with one Trump and three clubs and the bidding and play marked that defender for six hearts. That meant West held three diamonds so Declarer led the Jack of diamonds and subsequently finessed the nine to land the game. Q. A both vulnerable As South you hold a a a a Quot Quot a a a.
