Problem: North East South West pass 1NT pass 2C pass 2S pass 4S all pass This week's deal is a defensive problem. You hold the East hand, and remain silent as opponents reach 4S after a standard Stayman auction. Plan your defense after partner leads the ♣2. Solution: Partner's ♣2 lead is an obvious singleton. It is tempting to give partner his club ruff. Before you do so, you should ask yourself where will the setting trick come from. Since dummy is pretty strong, you cannot expect partner to hold any high cards. You don't have another entry to give partner a second club ruff. The solution is to obtain a diamond ruff. To prepare for the diamond ruff, you should lead a diamond at trick two. Declarer wins this trick in dummy, and plays a spade. You should go up with the Ace, and give partner his club ruff now. Partner in turn will give you a diamond ruff and set the contract. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
