A Yarborough defense study from the Intercollegiate Bridge Tournament shows how West can defeat four hearts by precise play. West leads a low club, aims to strip trumps, and forces East to ruff, enabling South’s over-ruff with ten of trumps. The intricate sequence demands careful timing and clever signaling to secure the setting trick.
In the deal West wins a setting trick after North draws trumps. The question asks what to bid when dealer opens with a spade, partner doubles, and the right-hand opponent passes. With spades five four three, hearts eight six four, diamonds six five three, clubs nine two, the suggested answer is to bid two diamonds as a takeout, noting weaker hands require stronger takeout emphasis.
