Echognome Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 [hv=d=s&v=b&n=sjxxhaxxxdjxxcxxx&s=saxxxhxdakqxcakqj]133|200|Scoring: MP[/hv] My old bridge partner from the states sent me this problem from a recent game he played in. What do you open on the South hand playing standard methods? He chose 2♣ and had a problem already over 2♦. He chose 2♠, his partner bid 3♠ and he bid 4♠. Opening lead is a small diamond. His challenge to me was to make 12 tricks. Not on best defense but on a feasible one. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 I open 1D. If I were playing to make 12 tricks, I would win the DJ and lead the SJ from dummy hoping everyone ducked and they were 3-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trpltrbl Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 1♦ opening.I win in my hand, play ♥ to the ace, ruff a ♥,♦ to the J ruff a ♥. But even with all the suits breaking good, I only get up to 11 tricks that way.So I guess i have to play my opps for not so good and lead the ♠J and hope they duck and that the suit breaks 3-3 :unsure: Good luck to me.Oh yeah, but then again I think I would be playing 3NT anyway.

Echognome Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 I can tell you that he did not run the ♠J. However, consider the defender's point of view "knowing" that declarer has 5 spades from the auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
