East returned... another spade. Who's to blame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endymion77 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I would have switched to the S7 as West to deny a top honor in the suit and help East find the club switch. However, East probably still should've figured it out although it was hard to visualize a club void on the bidding: 1) West led his lowest diamond without an honor in the suit - why? 2) If West really switched from Kxxx spades then South would have 2 spade losers (Qx) and one of them could disappear only in the very unlikely scenario that South has something like Qx Q10xxx AJx KQJ - would he really bid 4NT on that? So the blame is 35% West, 65% East. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
