Declarers who rely solely on the spade finesse will lose today. Declarer ducks the first diamond to East's queen and another diamond knocks out dummy's ace. With one trick gone to the defense, how does declarer avoid losing two clubs and the ill fated spade finesse. East's opening bid provides the major clue declarer must play East for most of the high cards.
In the described bridge scenario, declarer wins with the diamond ace in dummy and draws two rounds of trumps, then plays the ace and a club. If East started with two trumps and two honors, the defence is forced to a finish depending on East’s play of the club king. If East pitches the king, a club now forces the jack and ends the defense. if West over Takes, the declarer has one club loser. if East wins the jack, the distribution pays off for declarer. East must lead a diamond for a ruff or a spade into dummy’s AQ for a free finesse.
