makes no differ- once you notice dummy spade and you should decide now what you are going to do if de clarer leads a spade later ideclarer wins the club with the ace and ruffs a club he leads a low diamond and wins with the king now he ruffs an other club and jeads a trump from dummy he takes two rounds of trump with the ace and king and leads a low spade this f what you have been wailing for without hesitation yon play what you assume that your partner has a trump i rick and you need three others to set the contract declarer must have three spades else he should have bid diamonds
