Two Diamond Paths in a Bridge Declarer Decision
In one room South led his last diamond and dummy’s jack. East incorrectly returned clubs, sealing two losing clubs. In the other room the declarer pursued two extra diamond tricks, forcing East to play the ace, then used trumps to enter dummy and discard clubs, gaining the needed two diamond tricks and a favorable end.
