This is true for the declarer, who is frequently advised to make a game plan before playing the first card from the dead man, even if she was a singleton. This is even more essential for the flanks which must have been prepared before the critical moment. The clearest example: to provide or not the Ace, while the dead has a length ordered by King-Jack.
