Right timing misleads defense in a bridge puzzle
Phillip Alder notes West overlooked an inference in a bridge deal. South with few aces seems light for a jump to three notrump yet heavy for an invitational two no trump. West ducks, then South builds six clubs to make. best defense buys time by cashing diamonds and shifting to a heart to force East's spade continuation.
