Just As Declarer can paint a false picture of the hand for the defenders so Clever defenders can entice Declarer away from a winning line by offering a reasonable alternative. South a preempt was perhaps a smidgeon Light by Normal standards but the vulnerability was at its most favourable. East West had some play for three Spades but neither was Able to enter the auction and if either did the other was Likely to commit the partnership to a hopeless game. _ since there was no Point to a Holdup Declarer won the first trick in Dummy with the Ace and led the three of Trumps which fetched the six Queen and four. Declarer exited with a Low Trump and was fortunate to find East had started with a double ton Ace. When Declarer regained the Lead the last Trump was drawn and Declarer lost just one trick in each suit to make the contract. It All seems harmless enough. However a crucial error was made. Did you spot the culprit West made life easy for Declarer by following to the first Trump trick with the four. With the a j 10 of Trumps still missing the Only Way Declarer could limit losers in the Trump suit to one was to Hope that East had been dealt a double ton Ace. Suppose that instead West were to drop the ten of Trumps. Suddenly Declarer has an alternative South can continue with the King playing West to have started with j 10 Bare. This false card comes with no guarantee but it does offer a reasonable Chance. Who can ask for anything More a a both vulnerable As South you hold a 83 9aqj762 0j7 #aj9 the bidding has proceeded South West North East 1 pass 2 a pass ? what do you bid now , the Choice lies Between rebinding your six card major or supporting partners suit. We done to believe in suppressing a Good six card major even when holding Fine support for partners suit so our vote goes to two hearts. Q. A neither vulnerable As South you hold k1095 97 0k953 qj63 the bidding has proceeded North East South West 1 0 pass 1 a pass 2 pass ? what action do you take  your Low High card count its a close decision Between a pass or a game try of three diamonds. We can construct hands where game would be cold even though partner has a minimum but most of them depend on a perfect fit. We would be conservative and pass especially since we Are not assured of an eight card fit.  so wih-0.l  v och Wavu j Juihua hello Ivy Iii   Ltd no Sci j Zzz a puns out met by s sub enl 3 1 in Tut Matvi Sla Lildon o Allyl of bus by Hub by Atli a fld Gimp amass a a a ran a a my Boom Soso mar non a sobbed nuns Nhsn Ariaa a it Ian it Iowa Oom Nufim Banna a fins in Nam bbb Oanes a a a no Anacia amen bib Naan in non nmn Nuj a a a a a no Annm Deal my a ass Finman Nons Nuana an Mara no suns a anon Annan umans boo a a a a Mamma in Cine kid do non Nenma Nanso in san Nae Manan neans Utia Ocus Mann to Nanna Mann Nna Oon Anam Lounkin Jan Nam Nanna a Mana Naan a Tenn Ronnyn in non Aana non in own names Cioku q.

Our Choice would be to pinpoint where our Side strength lies by bidding three diamonds. Partner might be Able to take a heart preference rebid Spades or bid three no Trump All of which would make life easy for us. Q.

Since partner could easily have three card heart support on this auction we would opt for four hearts realizing that we might end up playing a 5-2 fit in one of the majors. Q.
