Declarer won the opening lead with the heart ace Two rounds of trump are drawn ending up in South hand Declarer must set up the club suit in order to get rid of his losing diamonds The club three Is led and the nine in dummy is played as a finesse against the Jack Un fortunately East produces the Jack Return heart The defense returns a heart at this point because two declarers ended up making four spades The only way to make four spades is to have the defense no lead diamonds Now I know It goes against the grain to lead away from a king right Into dummy ace jacks but what are the alternatives Dummys singleton heart was clearly visible The five card club suit was also visible If declarer establishes the club suit he can discard his losing diamonds A diamond must be led regardless of dummy diamonds Only a diamond switch can defeat four spades Too anxious I am afraid that two East were too anxious to cash their club tricks After that declarer ruffed a heart In dummy
