In today’s deal (reported by Daniel Gullberg in the excellent Daily Bulletin), the winners collaborated on a remarkable defense.Zia’s bid of one club wouldn’t have occurred to me; if he was intent on directing a lead, he might have preferred one spade.

He cashed the ten of hearts and (though Zia followed!) led a fiendish jack! Presented with...
