Guess defensive strategy to beat 4H on this layout

After the club lead, as the cards lay, I was able to unblock SA and play on trumps. With the SA unblocked and West having no more trump, they were powerless to beat me however they defended. In some lines, not seen here, I can take one spade ruff and pitch my losing diamond on the good spade.

Do you see how they can beat me? They must take out the two trump in dummy and dislodge the DK before I can unblock the SA. Thus a trump lead, two top trumps and DA and DQ beats me, Also a DA leaad, followed by a trump shift, two top trumps voiding dummy of trumps and a diamond beats me.

Welcome to Ramesh's BRIDGE BLOG

In these pages, I comment on hands from Bridge Base Online ACBL tourneys. I play in these with a variety of partners with different degrees of skill. I might present a hand or two from my collection of bridge books, every now and then. I am more interested in play and defense than in complex bidding systems, but I do follow the cut and thrust of Vanderbilt and World Championship Vugraph and try to keep abreast of expert practice in the obstructive and constructive bidding system department. I may also feature, newspaper-style, famous hands from important matches that I saw on Vugraph.

NOTE: For JUNE, I am experimenting with adding BBO's Handviewers, which make bridge movies embedded. Just
scroll down beyond the few sampled book covers and you arrive at the blogs that play themselves with the NEXT button. THANKS, BBO!!
