This week's deal is from New Zealand vs China match. Chinese defenders came up with good defence on this deal.
New Zealand West was playing the contract of 3
and received a lead of
King. The lead was won with dummy's Ace and declarer played trump Ace and back to prevent
ruffs.Chinese North won the trick with
Queen and cashed
Queen before exiting with a
. South won the trick with King and returned a
which was ruffed by North with his master trump. North got out with a
which was ruffed by declarer in hand but now he was short of an entry to take
finesse twice (
Jack followed by finesse against 10) and finished down one.
"Look what happens if Chinese North cashes the
K and exits with a
.
Declarer can ruff the second round of
and follow with the
J
to the king, ace and 9. He can then exit with a
. If North still
had the
Q, he would be endplayed, forced to play a
, giving
declarer a free finesse, or a
, giving declarer an entry to hand
with a ruff. If North simply cashed his two red winners, followed by a
,declarer would have a re-entry to hand with a
."
