CODE
The majority of good defensive plays require a bsic understanding of DECLARER play. Knowing why declarer is doing such and such, helps you decide why you should be doing such and such. Also, counting their points, distribution and, above all their tricks, cannot be overemphasised., and lets not forget watching their leads1
Good luck  :rolleyes:
