From the daily "BEN & Friends" 2024-04-20

I was surprised to see a player taking 12 tricks in 3N



With JT96 over 875, there is no reason to use the 9, but I assume BEN is just seeing the 6 as a small card

But much worse is trick 4.

Yes, it might assume declarer has the King (or Queen), but still the 6 is a noplay.

Let us see what happens at the next board.


The lead seems fine, but when West wins the ♥K, West did not play ♦K, but switched to a ♠, and the errors continue as East play the Ace and continue ♠s

OK, one player managed 9 tricks after this defence


Here declarer played ♣A first, so now West did continue ♦, and note this time East did play the Jack, and continued ♦. West did not cash the 4th ♦, but switched to a ♥

And finally the way to go 2 down
