Nice hand. You should send it to the Bridge World - it looks suitable for Kantar for the Defence.

... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Given that declarer will likely have longer diamonds than spades, a low spade does seem convincing. And it looks like partner can figure out a trump return after winning the SA.
Agree with others. Nice hand. Thank you for posting, MrAce.

Thank you Andy and Trumpace. And of course everyone else who bothered to reply.
I was expecting more posters, and was dissapointed by the number of replies and thought perhaps it wasn't as interesting defense hand as i thought. But then i remembered something JLOGIC posted in another thread, Justin said something like "Everyone replies to bidding topics since it is hard to prove someone wrong in bidding, but card play or defense topics are replied by only few..." He maybe accurate with his statement to a degree, even in the adv/exp section. I think we all love ATB topics the most.
When a hand is asked to us in a bridge book, or by a friend or in a forum, it is not same as playing the hand at the table. Not only because we have more time to solve it, b ut also we all are aware that there is something to it or it wouldn't have been asked at the first place. So it is hard to blame the multiple times world champ North player, who played ♦Q at the table (L.Lauria).
Some kibs commented " It is impossible to defeat this without mirrors ..." Larry saw the defense and so did i and of course the reasons Andy stated, but we were seeing all 4 hands. So i asked myself " Would u play small ♠ at the table and find the right defense ?" My ego said "Of course" But the fact is i am % 100 confident that i would not find it at the table.
