You are East. The bidding has been as shown. Partner led the ♦Q, you signaled with the ♦8 and South won the ♦A. South then played low to dummy's ♠K, and led dummy's ♠6. Your decision is not whether to play high or low, but whether to ruff or not, which amounts to the same thing. When you have made your choice click NEXT . |

Do not ruff.
Even though South holds the ♠A, if you ruff now he will just put on a small ♠ and you will be ruffing a loser. Instead discard a ♦. South will win the ♠A, but will not be able to ruff any ♠ losers in dummy because your trumps can overruff any of North's trumps. Suppose you had ruffed the ♠. South would have played his ♠9, leaving himself with ♠ A J. He would then get the lead and pull your two remaining trumps. That would leave one trump in dummy to ruff his ♠J, his only remaining loser. Deal 12 |
