In a four heart contract with North East West South players and standard opening lead king of clubs, the defender West holds K62 and AKQ942 in clubs and the dummy signals AKQ10765 in spades. After the lead and all follow suit, the correct continuation is to switch from clubs to guard against declarer’s potential play and to maximize the defense rather than simply playing the ace.
The article analyzes a bridge tactic where South ruffs and wins with trumps, recommends a spade lead at trick three to force declarer into revealing dummy’s trump assets, and notes potential counterplay if South holds certain queen or ten of trumps. It cautions that smart players may counter the tactic, but many are not adept enough to do so.
