Robert Coup - The tactic of ruffing a trick which might seem
unnecessary in order to play a non-trump suit which places opponents in an
unfavorable position.
East leads the
DJ; South
may discard the S6 but
doing so will only allow the declarer to win one other trick - the HA.
However, by ruffing the
DJ in declarer's hand
with the H5 over the dummy's
DQ and returning the
S6, South now wins two
additional trump tricks by endplaying West.
