West
leads the K
against 4ªpartner
contributing the J and switches to his singleton diamond.South
wins and leads a small spade but West hops up with the A and
underleads his hearts to his partners known 10 who returns a
diamond for West to ruff,1 down, !Well defended! but was it well
played?
South knew what was happening
when he got the diamond switch, he was doomed or was he?
He should have played a club at trick 3 and played the A and
returned the J discarding his losing heart discommunicating the
opposition and avoiding the diamond ruff !The Scissors Coup! |
