This Deal is from a Highfi stake rubber Bridge game and sitting South was an expert. A a straightforward auction led to. A Good contract being reached in Quick time. North had barely enough to raise his partner s two no Trump opening bid to game. A a a West led the Jack of diamonds. Declarer won in Dummy and led a club to the Jack. In with the Queen too simple to spot West realized there was no future in diamonds and shifted to a Spade. Declarer won in hand and forced out the Ace of clubs. Back came another Spade. Declarer allowed that to win buttock the Spade continuation perforce. Next Declarer tried Ace King and another heart but when that suit failed to split evenly Declarer was limited to eight tricks. Languishing in Dummy for All the world to see was the ninth tricks. The nine of clubs. Unfortunately after All the mane vering that set up the nine Declarer did no to have a Dummy entry to Cash it. Had Declarer realized at the outset that he could not be denied from scoring two club tricks he could have managed the hand better. With seven tricks outside the club suit the easy Way Home was to win the first trick in hand and Lead the King of clubs. Lets suppose West wins. The Ace 1 and shifts to a Spade As before. A.1-though unimportant As. A matter of technique Declarer should win in hand preserving the valuable entry to Dummy and continue with the Jack of clubs forcing out the Queen. West can Knock out the Spade entry but Declarer Cap unblock the High club in hand Cross to the Queen of diamonds and then Cash the nine of clubs for the fulfilling trick.
