As above. All follow to this trick. When you cash two spades, lefty pitches on the second trump, a nondescript six of diamonds. How do you cross to dummy to claim?
When given this as a problem, you may see the point. At the table I think, you, like me would have quickly crossed with a heart, or I should say, tried to cross with a heart. Hearts are 7-1 even as trumps are 1-5 and righty ruffs.
When I posed this as a problem, my partner was alert. He replied "Since the C7 would be a bizarre lead from a holding of CT732, I do not think that RHO is trumping the second round of clubs, so I go back to dummy with a club, not a heart." He was right on the card reading. Clubs broke. He also commiserated with my play "Unlucky, only a 7-1 heart break and a 1-5 trump break beats my choice of play"
