Technique in declarer play against spade lead
East Pass Good technique in declarer play is simply a matter of consistently choosing the play that has the best chance to succeed. In today s hand declarer was guilty of poor technique. He won the opening diamond lead and cashed the ace of spades on which West showed out. South could see no way to reach dummy to finesse against Last s queen of spades so he cashed hearts hoping the queen would fall. When it didn t he was dawn one. Declarer should have made the contract. This proper play after West shows out of spades is to lead a low heart toward dummy. This approach ensures entry to dummy via a heart finesse and enables the slam if the spade sequence allows.
