MP, Instant.

OK, so I get that bitching about card play is not very productive here, but I thought this might be of minor interest.

I refer to E/W blocking the Club suit.

They had 2 chances to get it right, and no good reason to eschew either of them.

1) West could follow with the 7 on trick 2. A cost-nothing play that preserves the option of continuing the unblock with the 9 when South shows out on the J at trick 3.

2) It would be rather mad of South to follow with Club Q at trick 2 unless forced by reason of its being his only remaining Club. So East is culpable by continuing with J rather than low at trick 3.
