Ted's Bridge World The Master Play

#9: Maui Wowie

*

You and your partner, needing to kill some time on Hawaii's famous isle, find yourselves at the Tuesday Evening duplicate in the beachfront (aren't they all?) community of Kihei.

Partner finds the good lead of the S9.  You play off three rounds of trumps as partner follows to the second one, then discards the H2.  Declarer wins in hand and runs the HJ, west playing the nine and dummy the three.

Plan the defense, and be forewarned: your communication skills will need to be state-of-the-art.
