Bridge Deal of the Week (Feb 03 2012)

Problem:

The Auction:

all pass

Your partner has answered your opening bid of 1♣ with a weak inverted minor raise and you, feeling as frisky as ever, go for 3NT of course. West leads the ♦8 and you must decide whether or not to play the ♦A from the dummy, as diamonds are your only weakness...

Hint:

If West led the 4th highest of his diamonds suit, then by the rule of eleven there should be three diamonds higher than the ♦8 in the rest of the hands. As dummy has the ♦A and you have the ♦10, East should have the ♦Q.
