Good Defence From Singapore
b
This defence was easier to find than I first thought. East's 2♣ bid was probably a general game force. West can place him with at most the KQJ♣, QJ♦, and the J♠ outside of hearts. Therefore he must have the A♥ for the 2♣ bid. He still had to find the trumpp switch.
Note if East led the A♥ instead, he must find the diamond switch. Now when south ruffs and leads a spade, West can jump in with the Q♠ to lead another diamond. Dummy only has the K♥ left and thus the Q♥ will be promoted to the setting trick.
This may seem like a very kind hand to display but I have a hand for next week where I called the director on my own partner. He was from the Malay Peninsula and I did not want people thinking I had a bias against that particular area.
