This one is a lot of fun. West needs East to signal where his ace is – so that West can lead his other singleton instead to avoid knocking out the ace too early! Much respect to the player who finds that line at the table.

Cheers,

Or West leads a club at T1, gets ruff, underleads HA (if redbl = HA or K) and hets another ruff. Easy game! Actually I like Jeff’s comment.

Heh, nice line, Iain. And then South glares suspiciously and mutters “Italians!…” under his breath.
