Vil Resurfaces. X-Clubs Play_01

Hi good people who have patiently answered my bridge questions. I have left you alone for a while but I am about to start another series which I shall call X-Clubs Play. From time to time I will be reviewing an interesting deal played on XClubs. This one will be of interest to all those who regularly struggle when there are many options in the play.

North leads the three of diamonds. On asking, you are told that their agreed methods are ‘fourth highest’ from length. When dummy’s D2 is played, South produces the eight. Plan your play. Any thoughts? Send them to me at villyn@xtra.co.nz
