Any bridge player declaringtoday’s deal should see right awaythat he must have five club tricksto make his contract. There isabsolutely no hope of developingan extra trick in any other suit.Once we focus our attentionstrictly on the club suit, the handbecomes easier. Should East holdall four missing clubs, the contractmust fail. All four clubs with Westis no problem. A club to the acediscloses the bad split, and aheart back to hand allows us tolead the 10 of clubs to finesseWest out of his jack. Is that allthere is?A closer look allows us to see aproblem if either opponent holdsthree clubs to the jack. The playof the ace, king and queen ofclubs will block the suit if we’renot careful. The cure for thisproblem is simple. On the firstround of clubs, we must lead theseven from hand to the board’sace. Should East show out, wecan return to hand and finesseagainst West’s jack. Should bothopponents follow to the first club,continue by cashing the king andqueen while unblocking the nineand 10 from hand.The careless lead of the clubthree on the first round will leadto a lecture from partner andsnickering from the opponents— all too horrible. A little bit ofthought is all that is needed.
