The following deal arose recently in a club game:

West led the queen of hearts and was allowed to hold it. He made the ‘obvious shift’ to the jack of diamonds, three, five, queen. I led a club to the jack, then the K.
East won and played the eight of clubs to the five, nine and king. I took the ace of spades and crossed to the king of spades (East discarded a heart), led a club to the ace and ruffed a heart, to leave:
| 10 6 6 3 |

| J 9 J 5 |
A 10 10 7 — |

| Q 8 — 8 4 — |
When I led the four of diamonds from hand, West could not prevent me from reaching dummy to discard my other losing diamond on a club.
West made only the jack of spades. Is there a name for this en passant play that gives a direct or later entry for a discard? West could have made it more difficult by following to the second club with the queen rather than the nine.
