An opportunity came up at the weekend for a textbook play I don't think I've seen at the table before. I was so pleased with it, it made the whole weekend's bridge worthwhile...
Scoring: MP


The auction, starting with East, was

1NT 2S 2NT P
3C P P 3S
all pass

1NT was 15-17, 2NT lebensohl (love all at pairs), and 3S also a result of being love all at pairs. East passed 3S very very slowly.

West led a rather aggressive 2 of diamonds, and the play went:

diamond won by the Queen in dummy
spade to the Queen and 10
Ace of diamonds
Club, taken by East who cashed the another top club
Diamond from East ruffed in hand.
Queen of hearts ducked all round.
10 of hearts run to East's Ace.
Club exit from East....do you see what happened on this?

(If East had exited with the S9 instead of the 3rd diamond three tricks earlier, I could have played a heart to the 9, but a truly brilliant West would have inserted the Jack on this!)

declarer ruffed small in hand and overruffed with the 8. Then he ruffed a diamond with the 7 in his hand and got out with a heart which rho was forced to ruff and was endplayed into leading into the AQ of spades. Of course this is just the flashy line, declarer could also just pitch his heart from hand and ruff in dummy then lead the HK from dummy and ruff then get out a small trump to rho.
