The first thing he says is: \u201cDid you see how they cheated you yesterday?\u201d I guess he has seen the non-heart lead against 1 NT with 10xx-KJ109x-J-Q8xx, and I am about to tell him about the \u201cmisclaim\u201d in 4 spades. Then he says: \u201cThat 5 club hand, did you see it?\u201d It looked like this (Board 22, Closed room):<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bridgebase.com\/tools\/handviewer.html?bbo=y&#038;linurl=http:\/\/www.bridgebase.com\/tools\/vugraph_linfetch.php?id=40388\">Some browsers has problems with inline display of bbo viewer.Click here if this is the case.<\/a><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bridgebase.com\/tools\/handviewer.html?bbo=y&amp;linurl=http:\/\/www.bridgebase.com\/tools\/vugraph_linfetch.php?id=40388&amp;b=4\" width=\"500px\" height=\"500px\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So against 5 hearts \u2013 they are red you are white \u2013 you lead the king of clubs and get the 8 from partner (upside-down count) and declarer follows with the 4 of clubs. What would you do at trick two?<\/p>\n<p>Well, I would expect declarer\u2019s distribution to be 4=6=2=1 since he bid 5 over 5 opposite an invitational hand by partner. If he\u2019d had 4=5=3=1 or 3=6=3=1 it seems clear to double (or pass).<\/p>\n<p>To switch to a spade is highly risky if declarer has KJ9x, AQ9x, AK9x or KQJx. It would just let the contract through. So for a world class player it\u2019s extremely logical \u2013 totally clear that is \u2013 to switch to a diamond (you can not afford to play a passive club in case declarer has KQJx or is able to scoop the spade suit for three tricks). Versace, Helgemo and Hamman will all switch to a diamond. Every day in the year. So would Lotan Fisher \u2013 though he is definitely not the No. 1 in the world, I will give him a World Class rank \u2013 unless he had some extra information.<\/p>\n<p>Lotan switched to the 10 of spades. His partner took the king and ace in the suit and gave Lotan a spade ruff. Two down. Easy game.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bridgecheaters.com\/?page_id=146\">Previous page<\/a> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bridgecheaters.com\/?page_id=197\">Next page<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eddie is still playing and I run into Bobby Levin in the ballroom.
