I really like this hand because it demonstrates that bridge is more than a game of percentages and technical ability. Table presence and table feel are just as important.
Some assumptions must be made before proceeding into analysis;
(a) Inference #1, non-trump lead
( Inference #2, defense is attacking dummies suit
I do not want to type the remainder of the solution for the sake of letting someone else have the pleasure of being the first to solve problem. But I thought that it was a neat deal to emphasize a few things.
* Moral(s) of story:
(a) It is good to understand "standard" defensive tactics not only for sake of defending, but for sake
of declaring when opps do something non-standard.
( Table feel and table presence are crucial parts of being a successful player. Some people are born with it, others aquire it but few would argue against its necessity.
