A a a a a a a opening Lead four of a there Are times when a defender will be in a quandary As to How to proceed. That player will then have to rely on partner to Chart the course for the defense. This hand from the. British trials to select a team for the 1994 work championship to be held in Albuquerque n.m., is a classic example. The auction was routine except for North a jump to four clubs which showed the values of r a raise to four hearts and a Side club suit. It might seem routine for the contract to be Defeated since As the cards lie there Are five losers on top. Yet at Only one of the seven tables did the contract go Down. A at Alt seven tables West led. A Spade taken by East Sace. At All seven tables East returned a club taken by West s face this is where the predicament Arwen West had to decide whether to shift to a Diamond or play partner for a Singleton a club and continue the suit for a Fuff. Six of the seven-1 wests returned a club. Declarer inserted the nine and had the rest of the tricks. Only one West shifted to the Jack of diamonds  a Barnet Benkin his decision was based on Confidence in the defensive ski i of his partner Victor silvers one. The contract was unlikely to let a defiled unless East held the Ace of Tia monds. In that event of East did not want a Diamond shift and was. Prepared to Ruff a Chih. East should have cashed the Ace of diamonds before shifting to a club. With that morsel ref logic to guide him. West tabled the Jack of diamonds at trick three. That netted the defenders three Diamond tricks and a two trick set. While paying partner a Fine compliment. Q.
