Whenever one partner is in a position to know from his own hand the winning line of play, he should then direct the line of defence and do everything ethically possible to make the line of play evident to his partner. In 'to-day's hand, South capitalised on a slight slip by Declarer and carefully outlined the subsequent defence so that his partner could not possibly go
