East won and had no club to return, which was just as well: He led the ten of hearts, and West took the king and returned a heart.EIGHT TRICKSSouth had eight tricks: four diamonds, a heart, two clubs and a spade. He ran the diamonds, but when he finessed in spades, West took the king and led his last heart, and East took three hearts. Down two.When South finessed in diamonds first, he risked losing to East, the “dangerous” defender who might lead a killing heart. South must win the first club in dummy and finesse in spades. West wins, but no return can hurt South. He will have time to finesse in diamonds and win at least nine tricks.This week: “avoidance...
