Brilliant Club Lead Leads to Slam Miss in Bridge Lesson
South, in six hearts, faced a tricky position after West led clubs. A diamond or ace spade lead would have doomed the contract, but the club lead gave South a chance at slam. By leading the ten of hearts at trick two instead of the deuce, South could have drawn trumps and forced a spade to the ace, potentially making the slam despite a 4-0 break. The article stresses attention to small details in bridge decisions and notes unlucky breaks do not absolve better play.
