This morning I spotted this hand featuring Defender1 and Defender2 and Declarer
Poor Spectator watched in horror as his great friends performed surgery on the hand
The fingers would never work again
Normal 1D opening bid by West followed by 1H overcall from Defender1 ..Some might play Jump Overcall but this player obviously does not play that convention
A normal 1S bid by East and then South the barking dog roars in with a 2D bid .. This looks odd to me as it won't cause much pain for West .. I might like a 3C fit jump type bid or a combination of 2H jump and 3H support putting more pressure on East West
Any way they arrive in 4S and all looks well ...
Heart lead and the contract appears cold on any lead .. with a good guess in trumps
Act 1 .. Heart Lead won in West who leads the Spade 10
Act 2 .. North lets Spade 10 roll to Spade queen
Act 3 ... Defender 2 on lead after winning Spade Queen for some unknown reason figures out to cash Club Ace
Now on Trick 3 Defender1 could have risen with Spade Ace and fired a Club through and taken 2 clubs and a ruff promotion
Also on trick 3 Defender2 could have held onto AQ clubs and when North gets in with A Spades ..a Club comes through
The final nail in this coffin is to NOTE the trump policeman ...
Declarer should have kept Spade TEN in dummy as a policeman to stop the trump promotion.

I jusr spotted this hand this morning on BBO when 4 friends of mine were playing
I don't think they even noticed all the surgery they were performing
....
However luckily Murphyslaw was on site to see it
