♠ A 6 2 ♥ A K J ♦ A 9 3 ♣ 5 3 |
Again you are Declarer, South. West leads the ♦7 against your 3NT contract. What do you play from dummy? By the Rule of Eleven, 11 - 7 = 4. There are 4 cards that can beat the 7 in the North, East and South hands. All four of them are between you and Dummy, so East has none. So you play the ♦9 from dummy and win the first trick. Later you will finesse West for the ♦K and take 3 ♦ tricks to make this contract. | |||
