enjoy four spade winners. Whether or not West holds up his ace on the second round, one of your remaining spot cards will win the fourth round of the suit. Partner’s last spade will wither on the vine. You should return the ten, despite the fact that this may cause partner to misread the count.

The other situation is when you may need to retain the lead to play a third round of the suit.

♠ 3

♠ A 10 7 2

♠ K J 9 4

♠ Q 8 6 5

Partner leads the ♠2, won by your king. Since partner can hold only four spades, you are not concerned with a potential blockage in the suit. Suppose you return the ♠4, however. Declarer will cover with one of his spot cards and your partner will now be on lead. Unless there is an outside entry to your hand, declarer’s queen will be promoted into a stopper. Return the ♠J on the second round and there will be no such problem.
