The Trump suit on this Deal is an example of structuring the play to meet your a a a a. Since North a one no Trump rebid guaranteed at least two Spades South was certainly Worth a jump to four Spades on the second round. To make a invitational jump of three Spades would be putting too much Strain on partner. West led the Jack of clubs. How should Declarer tackle the Trump suit with two losers outside of Trumps the Best Way to play Spades for Only one loser would be to bang out the Ace of Spades and continue with a Trump. That would limit the loss to one trick if Trumps were 2-2 or if either defender held a Singleton Honor. Here however Declarer has Only one loser outside the Trump suit and can afford to surrender two Trump tricks. Therefore Declarer a efforts should be concentrated on guarding against a possible 4-0 Trump break in which Case there is a danger of losing three Trump tricks. Correct technique is to win the opening Lead in hand and fire a Low Spade toward Dummy. If West shows out insert the ten forcing an Honor from East. Later you can Cross to Dummy and take the marked finesse of the Jack of Spades a Mission accomplished. The safety play also works if the cards Are distributed As in the diagram. West must win the first Trump trick with an Honor. When you regain the Lead you simply Lead the ten of Trumps and surrender a trick to the remaining Honor the Ace and Jack will then pick up the remaining Trumps and again the contract is Safe. Q.
