West , my online partner Jeffrey gets off to the best lead of a trump.
Now do you play or defend?
There is a nice guard squeeze.
Declarer should win and play a club.
East (moi) wins and stops ruff by playing a second round of trump.
East (moi) wins and stops ruff by playing a second round of trump.
Now on the run of the trumps, East's last six cards have to be four spades, one club, ergo guard squeezed in diamonds.
Right?
Pretty hand I thought.
