Defense in Bridge Stuns as East Reads Lead Correctly
In a four spade contract West, on the opening two of diamonds, misleads with an irregular lead. East recognizes West is void in clubs, plays queen of diamonds, and the defense crumbles as West ruffs clubs and later wins a second club ruff. East’s later return preserves the win for the defense, though declarer still profits a trump finesse before finishing down one.
