Bridge Following Suit: A Small Card Can Be Compulsory

Bridge following suit requires a card of the led suit whenever you hold one. A trump cannot replace that obligation simply because it would win.

Bridge following suit requires a card of the led suit whenever you hold one.

A trump cannot replace that obligation simply because it would win.

Spades are trumps, diamonds are led, and your hand contains 2♦ plus A♠.

You must play the diamond if it is your only diamond.

Once genuinely void in diamonds, you may choose another suit; trumping is then possible rather than compulsory.

For Bridge following suit, examine the whole hand before reaching for a winner.

The strongest card in your hand is not necessarily a legal card in the current trick.
