A and ruff a club. When East's jack appears you might suspect that he is short in clubs, a suspicion strongly reinforced when West shows out on the second round of diamonds. The way is now clear for a cross-ruff, South entering his hand three times in order to ruff his losing diamonds.At the table South simply drew trumps at trick two and relied on the ruffing diamond finesse, so the match was lost. Had North doubled 5 or South made 6 then the result would have been reversed. Who would you have blamed?
