Problem 5 Solution
East opens 4 and you bravely bid 4 ending
the auction. West leads a heart and East plays a second heart,
you ruff while West completes a peter. Which minor should you
cross to dummy with to lead a Spade?
East is equally likely to be short
in Clubs or Diamonds since you have seven of each. It is correct
to cross with a Diamond. After you take the trump finesse and
West
wins, then if East can ruff a Diamond, having started with a singleton,
East
will be ruffing a loser.
