Easy play refutes Souths overruffing plan in bridge
In the observed hand South led dummy with ace and king of diamonds and faced a ruff and a trump return. The article outlines an easy play: lead a low club from dummy, ruff a club if a trump returns to dummy, then draw trumps and cash diamonds. If no trump returns, ruff spade with dummy on ace and ruff a club to force trumps. The Daily Question cites a bidding lesson: with S K J103 H J 52 D Q C QJ 1053, bid one spade and wait for developments. Sheinwold on Bridge column from the Los Angeles Times.
