Suppose I ruff the diamond continuation in dummy. Where are my 10 tricks going to come from?

I pitch a club and righty makes the diamond position easy for
me. He wins the K
(pretty much marking him with the
A) and then continues the
A. I ruff this with the
K, finesse in trumps and
claim 10 tricks conceding the
J.
That's +420 for the good guys!
Here is the entire hand.
Now the fighting begins. Righty starts by asking me an innocent question.
"You had a void in clubs?" I tell him I had only one and then
he turns to partner. "I gave you a high club. Why didn't you
return a club?" I assure her that their defence was the best
possible and I describe the line that would have allowed me to make 10
tricks on a club continuation or a spade continuation. She nods confirmation and we play the next hand...
After the dinner break, she comes to tell me that her husband had misdefended the hand! "If he had ruffed that first spade, then we could have beaten it." I tell her I would think about it later, because we had more bridge to play. |
