If due to TOCM, when leading the Q clubs, West shows out showing that clubs will not break . What is the best way to continue forward? I assume plan b is to leave the K clubs in dummy and try and make an extra trick in Diamonds? If so how?

Hi Bryan,

A well thought possible strategy should one encounter what certainly appears a rainy day when West shows out on the second round of clubs he then, because of his 4 of hearts lead and according to the rule of eleven only have three cards above the four (which he led) he would have led a higher one had he had six (or more) so that West is likely to have at least 2 diamonds, leaving the only possible legitimate holding the KQ doubleton diamond, so lead the eight of diamonds now, possibly enticing him to rise if holding only K7, but of course also KQ. Then hope for a miracle on a later round when you may have to guess between that mistake by West or the original KQ doubleton.

However, while playing duplicate tournament bridge, it is better to settle for down one rather than risk down 2 since every other NS pair should be in 3NT, likely with the same heart lead so down one might be at least an average score while down 2 will be a tie for zero.

No doubt bad luck here (TOCM or not) but mitigating one’s losses is a hallmark of a successful duplicate bridge player which often requires many adjustments to play once evidence continues to show up while both declaring and defending.

Thanks for the question,
