A man and his young son are out walking, and the son picks up an acorn and asks his father to explain what it is.“In a nutshell, it’s a tree,” is dad’s reply.In a nutshell, the goal on defense is to win enough tricks to beat the contract. To achieve that goal, the defenders adopt a plan.

The defenders may go passive, preferring safe leads and letting declarer struggle.In today’s deal, West has four trumps and two trump entries. A reasonable plan is to force declarer to ruff so that he runs out of trumps, and control passes to the defenders. Since clubs is the suit with which the defense can force declarer, West starts with the ace and a second club.South ruffs, leads a heart to dummy and lets the ten of trumps ride.

A warmer and more humid air mass will continue to stream in ahead of a cooling, fall front, which will arrive Monday afternoon. Ahead of this front, high temperatures will soar well above average into the mid to upper 80s but it will feel more like the low 90s due to the high humidity.Unlike Saturday when a front was stalled across South Florida, bringing clouds and a few showers, this front will lift north as a warm front this morning, opening up the door for warmer and brighter conditions.Expect intervals of sun and clouds this Sunday with only a few spotty showers. Rain chances will be at a 20% chance both today and tomorrow.On Monday, temperatures will warm up very quickly throughout the morning courtesy of a land breeze and a good deal of sunshine. The front will then arrive Monday afternoon, ushering in a drop in temperatures and humidity beginning Monday night.That will set the stage for a cool-ish Tuesday behind this fall front with high temperatures likely only reaching the...
