johnu Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Looks like winning defense is to win ♦A and lead ♠10. Easier to find if ♦J denies a higher honor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double dummy, he makes a miraculous overtrick :( Declarer cashed only one top ♦. Now, after west wins ♣T, a small ♠ still defeats the contract.[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakuragi Posted June 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 winning the Da playing back a 2nd D is normal. who wouldnt?playing the 3rd D appears to be mistake. one would already see that declarer would never get that D trick.

johnu Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 winning the Da playing back a 2nd D is normal. who wouldnt? Like I said, playing back a diamond only looks right if partner led from ♦KJ10(x)(x). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 I led the diamond back because I couldn't see anything better. I wasn't able to picture the layout where giving declarer a free finesse in spades would be the killing defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
