The Yugoslavs have not been showing us their best dummy play, but there is from time to time a nice piece of defensive intelligence. This one features a neat combination, a deceptive duck and an unblock.

Poljacki (East) made an "old fashioned" lead when he selected the §6, that luckily worked well.

Declarer took the §Q with the king, crossed to dummy via the ©Q and played the ¨4 to the ¨10. Poljacki imperturbably played small and after considerable thought declarer played the ¨A. He then stopped playing diamonds placing the ¨K with West and not wanting to lose perhaps four club tricks. Declarer now took the ©A and ©K, then the ªK and ªA. East unblocked by throwing his ªQ and when West came in with the ªJ at the next trick and returned a small club, Poljacki claimed all the remaining tricks for one down.
