Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.When a contract seems to depend on a reasonable break in a long suit, you can sometimes test the suit so that other possibilities remain, even if it doesn't behave. Here, South overlooks that possibility.
Playing five-card majors and a strong no-trump, South was constrained to open One Diamond. West overcalled with Two Spades (weak) and North bid Three Clubs. South bid Three No-trumps and wasn't happy when North tried for a slam with Four Diamonds. He bid Four No-trumps; North didn't get the message, but at least they ended in the reasonable contract of Six No-trumps, against which West led the king of spades.
After winning, South returned the jack of spades and threw a diamond from dummy. West led a third spade and this time dummy discarded a heart. Declarer next tried the king and another club, but when West showed out he was in trouble and ended a trick short.
Try the effect of leading the two of clubs to the ace at trick two! The next club lead exposes the position and now, when South leads the jack of spades from hand, he has a good discard from dummy - a now useless club. With the diamonds dividing kindly and the heart finesse right, there are now 12 tricks. Furthermore, if the clubs had proved to be 3- 2, declarer would have been in the right hand to establish his twelfth trick from the spade suit with no need to rely on either the diamond break or the heart finesse.
