Declarer Play in a Complex Contract Bridge Problem
Becker presents a bridge exercise with West as declarer defending against spade clubs and diamonds. The suggested line requires careful underleading of the ace, blocking diamonds, and handling hearts and spades to guarantee twelve tricks under 3-1 diamond breaks, while noting risks if the defense shifts. The piece emphasizes technique and the difficulty of perfect play.
