BM2000 Questions in reality 2

This is a deal of bidding a bit higher due to the misunderstanding.

Board 4
Dealer: West
Vul: Both

West North East South
1♣ X Pass 2♣
X 2♡ Pass 2♠
Pass 3♠ Pass 4NT
Pass 5♣ Pass 5♠
Ap

Lead: ♠7

You win the ♠9 and East discards a small ♢. Now what's your plan?
It is similar to the question in BM2000. Assuming that West holds ♡A, ♢K and♣AQ. Crossing to the table with ♡K while West cannot win the ♡A. Drawing trumps to the hand and finesse ♢K, discarding ♡Q on the ♢A. Returning hand with ruffing small ♢. Then playing small from hand to J on the table. Everything is fine.

ATTENTION PLEASE:
If you don't have ♣J, this plan will fail if trump is 0-3. In this case, finesse ♡J might a better choice.

Interactive Hand Testing

Fu Bo shared this deal with me. This deal happened in the open pair qualify of the 15th Would Bridge Series. She asked me could you find out the defense even if you saw 4 hands. Interactive hand analysis was interesting and played an important role in improving bridge technique. Although double-dummy analysis always stood on a God view, it was essential in a post-mortem analysis. This was first time to show a interactive hand analysis here. I'd appreciate if you could share any interesting double-dummy with me. How to defend 4♠? In this case, defenders should prevent declarer from ruffing ♣ or from winning 3♢. How to cut the connection between table and hand became a serious problem. Timing and speed were the crucial point. 1. Leading ♣ A slow step, losing an upper hand. Declarer could win with the ♣A and sent out small ♣. Even if the defender shift to trump, the declarer was a step ahead. (a) Returning small trump, won by North, ruffing a small ♣ and finessing ...

Asian Game_ Pairs Final: Creating an entry!

This deal happened in the last segment of Asian Game Pairs Finals. Who played this deal would never be mentioned in my blog. I was quite afraid of being accused of insulting players. Board 15 Dealer: South Vul: N-S South West North East 2♡* Pass Pass X Pass 2♠ Pass 3NT AP 2♡: Weak 6 cards ♡ Lead: ♣4 North followed ♣Q and you won with the ♣A. And now, how to play? Now you had 3♣, 1♡, so you need 4♠ and 1♢. You must assume that South hold ♢A and North hold ♠K. Otherwise it would down quickly. The leading was quite strange. If he was 1-6-3-3, he would lead ♢. If he was 2-6-2-3, ♡ was the normal leading. I felt South hold 4 cards ♣, because he led quickly. However, it was hard to say. Anyway, you need 2 entries to finesse ♠K. One was ♢K, appreciating the leading, ♣9 beca...
