When you can't win go high in bridge defense
The article explains a bridge defense principle: if you cannot win a trick or must discard, play the top honor then force or steer the lead. It applies to a four heart contract where West signals with the queen under his partner's ace. The suggested plan: after West’s weak jump overcall, North should avoid overbidding and East should discard or ruff as dictated, with West cashing top diamonds and shifting to clubs to defeat the contract. The piece notes the risks of ambiguous king leads and advocates giving up such leads.
