♠ A Q 10 2 ♥ A K J ♦ A 10 5 4 ♣ J 3 |
This time you are South, playing 3NT. West leads the ♠7. What do you play from dummy? Declarer can also use the Rule of Eleven. 11 - 7 = 4. There are 4 cards that can beat the 7 in the North, East and South hands. Since you are looking at all 4 of them, you know that East has none. So you play the ♠2 from dummy and win the first trick with your ♠8. Later you take two finesses in ♠. Only by winning 4 ♠ tricks can you make this contract. | |||
