Here's a ruling we received. We can make 2NT
but we were defending 1[/W. Don't ask.
Anyway we managed to get five tricks, when
these four cards remained, with dummy on lead:
]A6
[–
}–
{K9
Dummy
]QJ
]K73
[–
[K
}–
}–
{J7
{–
]T98
[–
}–
{8
Declarer faced his cards and said "I'll give you the
]A." Nobody said anything for a while.
Then I said. "I can win the ]A and lead a club."
The director was called and went away to chat
with his colleagues. They allowed the claim.
When I lead the {9, does declarer get a chance
to reassess and realise the claim was shonky?
Yes and No. If the blockage issue didn't occur to
him at trick nine, why should it become apparent
at trick 10?
How does declarer know that the {K and {8
aren't swapped, when dummy has to ruff the {9?
Yes there were strong inferences in the auction
and the play but is declarer allowed to make
them?
