Bridge column on defense and finessing to nine tricks
Barry Rigal explains a three no trump contract where South spurns Stayman and North’s sequence leads to seven top tricks plus potential extras. West’s diamond lead, East’s signal, and heart length concerns shape the plan as the table runs, with both declarers finessing the heart queen and ending in defeat. The diagram shows North South with WAQ52 Q710 1062 K9873 and South holding AQ32 17T63 A43 while vulnerable. The bidding reads South East North East 1NT Pass 3NT All pass Opening Lead diamond five.
