West ruffed the second diamond, and the defense took the jack of spades and ace of clubs. Down one.”“You were upset?” I asked.“No. I commiserated with my wife like a good English professor. I said ‘there, their, they’re’.”BAD BREAKSThere is an easy way South can guard against bad breaks and prevent the defense from getting their four tricks. After South wins the second spade, she leads a club from dummy to set up communication with her hand. She can ruff her last spade in dummy.As for ...
