N-S Vulnerable South West North East 1♠ 2♦ 4♠ Pass Pass Pass
You are sitting East and no doubt you gave serious thought to bidding 5♦. That would surely be a good sacrifice if 4♠ is making. Having guessed to defend you must now find a nice defensive play if you are to justify your shyness in the bidding.
West leads the ♦K, won by Declarer’s Ace. A Diamond is ruffed in Dummy, followed by a Spade to Declarer’s Ace. Then the Club Four is led to Dummy’s Jack and your Queen (Partner playing the Eight). It looks like might be trying to end-play you. Before deciding what to do, can you deduce Declarer’s distribution? |
