His bid of four hearts and South’s four spades were questionable. West led the king and ten of hearts. South ruffed, led a diamond to dummy’s ace and returned a club: three, jack, ace.“My wife led another heart,” East said. “Declarer ruffed, ruffed a club in dummy, led a diamond to his king and ruffed a club. He ruffed a heart, ruffed his last club with the queen of trumps and ruffed a diamond with his nine. My wife overruffed, but South’s A-10 of trumps won the last two tricks.”DEFENSE“My wife and I argued about the defense. When I showed her how to beat the contract, she admitted I was right — and I slept with the dog last night.”The winning defense isn’t easy. At some point West must lead the king of trumps.
