Defensive signaling wins a four heart bridge battle
In a team event both North South pairs reach four hearts while Wests’ first lead is a diamond-less start. At one table West’s club nine misleads, East’s diamond nine signals suit preference, and South seizes the ace to run remaining trumps for two spade tricks. The other table sees a diamond nine agreement guiding West to a spade ruff with East winning the diamond ace and clubs to follow, sealing the defense.
