3rd hand should play high in general, and needs to think about Unblocking in some situations. A good rule is "High from Two Remaining Cards".
Also how declarer can take advantage if the defenders fails to Unblock!
The hands played are:
• app.pianola.net/Results/Sessi...
• tinyurl.com/y2js348p (Rotated to make South declarer). With no honours in dummy, 3rd hand must play high, and then play back the Jack to avoid blocking the suit - (HIGH FROM TWO REMAINING CARDS).
• tinyurl.com/yymcxxh5 If you have AJ, win with the ace and play back the Jack.
• tinyurl.com/y6kygp6f But with the queen in dummy, play the jack. If that wins, now play the Ace (HIGH FROM TWO REMAINING CARDS).
. 3NT should have been defeated, but it was only defeated three times. East needs to unblock the king on the lead of queen of spades: tinyurl.com/ydh7hlzq If East does not unblock, declarer should work out that the spades are 5:2 (because of the overcall), so it is best to win the first trick, as this blocks the suit tinyurl.com/ycrlkydp This leads to 11 tricks. If you let them win the first spade with the queen, then you have a second chance by letting them win the 2nd trick with the king! tinyurl.com/ybs58csr This leads to 10 tricks.
