| Contract 5H* | By West | ||
The dealer West started the bidding with 1 heart. The full sequence
was then:-
You decide to start with the Ace of diamonds as these have not been mentioned in the auction. Dummy goes down and it looks about what you expected. Your Ace holds the trick and partner follows with the nine (you play attitude). Partner's nine could be the top card from a doubleton as he expects you to have the King of diamonds OR he could have the Queen of diamonds as there could be 3 possible tricks to be had in the diamond suit.
How do you continue? Give yourself a minute or two to think about it. The problem arose on Leigh's duplicate evening and those faced with this problem failed to come up with the correct solution.
