“I know a little learning is a dangerous thing,” a fan writes. “Nothing about it is more dangerous than thinking your wife doesn’t have it.”My fan was today’s East. When North-South bid to four hearts, his 4NT asked West to choose a minor suit.“My wife led a club against five hearts,” East writes, “and declarer took the ace and led the king of trumps. I won and shifted to a spade, and South won, led a diamond to the ace and ruffed a diamond. He led a trump to dummy, discarded a spade on the king of diamonds — my partner pitched a club — and ruffed a diamond.”LAST DIAMOND“South next ruffed a club in dummy and led the last diamond. When I followed, he threw a spade. I had to lead a minor, and he threw his last spade and ruffed in dummy. Making five. My wife said I blew the defense.
