defensive problem adapted from a deal played in a Cheadle
Hulme duplicate.

You
choose to lead the six of clubs after the above
auction. Declarer wins with the ten in dummy,
partner playing the three and declarer the seven.
Now
declarer leads a diamond from table to the two and
jack. You win with the queen.
Assume
that you are playing teams and your goal is to defeat
the contract. What do you play now?
Solution
Partner
holds about five points. Your best chance
is that declarer has a singleton spade and that
you can take four spade tricks.
You
need to switch to the nine of spades, this
will be covered by the ten and queen, then a
spade to your ace followed by the five of
spades allows partner to take the last two
spade tricks with king, seven over the jack,
six.
