defensive problem

Maybe this should be in Interesting Bridge Hands. You are east defending 4H reached as follows:

 

[hv=d=s&v=n&n=skj7ha75dacakt862&e=saq98h9dqjt32c975]266|200|Scoring: XIMP

Rotated to make south declarer[/hv]

 

P - P - 1C - 1D

1H - P - 4H - all pass

 

Do you agree with 1D?

 

The play goes

 

D4-A-Q-6

CA-7-S2-4

CK-5-S5-J

C2-9-H4-3

DK-5-S7-2

D7-8-H5-J

C6-?

 

Leaving this, with declarer having won all the tricks so far:

 

[hv=d=s&v=n&n=skj7ha75dacakt862&e=saq98h9dqjt32c975]266|200|Scoring: XIMP

Rotated to make south declarer[/hv]

 

Do you ruff or not? Why?

I'm not going to take the time to do an analysis of the play, but I will speak toward the bidding: My preference would be a 1 spade overcall when NV, because 1) it's more preemptive and 2) it's what I want partner to lead.

Oops my fault either play beats the contract. Your partner misdefended later. Apologies.

 

Declarer began with Txxx, JT86x, K9xx, --.

 

The defenders played themselves into a smother position somehow.
