Deceptive Inaction in Bridge Ends in Two-Span Loss
North opens with spade lead and South reaches four hearts after a sequence where West shows strength in spades. Declarer ruffs, draws trumps, and a club finesse fails when West holds king. South loses three spades, a trump, and a club, missing the home by misplaying trick three. Milton’s line suggests discarding a low club on the third spade to secure a 84 percent path to ten high-card tricks. Haste maketh waste.
