Contract

Lead 3§
You win the the A§
and return the 4
your 4th best and declarer wins the K partner following
upwards. He draws trumps in 2 rounds with the A & Q and
then leads a diamond to the Q and your K. It's your go again.
You might just adopt a passive defense and return the10 .Well
partner will not be pleased, declarer wins the J and discards
a losing heart on the A .
As your partner remonstrates
with you, you protest how was I to know to lead away from my K .
Well let's count declarers
tricks. He has 6 trump tricks,1 diamond and 1club totalling
8,what's the club situation?Partner led the 3 and followed
upwards therefore declarer has another club which he can ruff
bringing his total to 9 tricks so if he has the A
he has 10 tricks, just
count.
