Declarer plans a nine trick rescue in a bridge hand
The article analyzes a bridge hand where declarer misreads a position after ducking the king and later faces eight tricks. It suggests an alternative line: after winning the ace of diamonds, lead queen of spades to force an odd count from West, then proceed with clubs and a spade sequence to nine tricks. A defender may mislead by false count, but true count can be inferred.
