If it works for him, it works for them

Boris Spassky, the world chess champion from 1969 to 1972, said, "Nowadays there is more dynamism in chess; modern players like to take the initiative. Usually they are poor defenders though."

Last week, we looked at declarer taking the initiative, analyzing the auction to work out which defender had a key missing honor. But what is good for the declaring goose is also good for the defending ganders.

In today's deal, how should the defense prevail against three no-trump after West leads the spade eight?
