She should have thought ahead so she could play quickly to that trick and give him a chance to guess wrong, and I don't think he had any other clue that would help him.


There are some for which there is something unfair with the attitude of "could play quickly to that trick and give him a chance to guess wrong" rather than "could play in tempo".
Bridge is a game and I will remember that its place in my life is that of a game. I will respect those who play and endeavor to be worthy of their respect. I will remember that it is the most human of activities which makes bridge so interesting. And in doing so I will contribute my best and strive to conduct myself fairly. -Bridge Player’s Creed

I didn't mean extra quick, just normal tempo rather than thinking for 5-10 seconds. That gives the position away (unless you do it when you don't actually have anything to think about, which is not permitted).

not if "playing quickly to the trick" *is* "playing in tempo". And for way too many, without a problem, it absolutely is...

Or, you know, what barmar said. "We all" know that's what he meant.
