- When it appears the offense will need to develop a
- long suit in dummy*, I try to eliminate dummy's
- entries(forcing dummy to ruff is often a good move).
- If that is unlikely, I search for a good suit to
- play. If I have no decent suit, my best exit is in
- trumps, since this may make it more difficult for
- declarer to develop the long suit, and if partner has
- the long suit blocked, it will force declarer to
- break new suits.
-
- *I classify dummy types and most likely defenses
- as follows(First D and Second D may see this
- differently):
- 1. Weak, balanced hand. If possible I force
- declarer to ruff in the long hand, and lead new
- suits (an exit in trumps may be in order).
- 2. Ruffing power: I play trumps.
- 3. Long strong suit that does not need to be
- developed. Play my aces, try to void myself in
- suit before trumps drawn, play to partner's void,
- or kill dummy.
- 4. As above.
