Rain Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 1) Defence I think return heart is best. Dummy's clubs can be set up if you let declarer have enough entry. Now if you return heart, if he ruffs, then 1 entry is gone. 2) Declarer play I have seen this somewhere actually, so I won't do it. hehe. ;D Thanks syl, some bidding questions too? But I guess thats harder, because systems differ. Basic bidding judgement call questions would be fun though. WOooOf! Rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess thats harder, because systems differ. Basic bidding judgement call questions would be fun though. and thank for feedback here i think we can manage some bidding question yes but definitely it's much more difficult in competitive situation for exemple it's really hard to say there's one possible answer and no other... but we can try . And yes , system vary WOooOf! miaouuu Rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsb Posted March 31, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 sorry for the time i took to give the "correction" , i was a bit busy that past days . so let's go now :) . defense : so first as usual let's take the information we can . The lead of ur partner come from a "sequence" KQ or KQJ in H u can also imagine that ur partner cant have now more than 2 or 3 points outside H , those 2 or 3 points can come from KQ of D or K of C so to sum up u can hope one of this card is in partner's hand but definitely no more. Second things , what u think when u see the dummy ? well to that question, answer is easy there's "frigthening" C and weaker D ... so it looks like if we can take tricks it's now or never and that will be done in D. now that we know D MUST be played we need to think if there's importance on the card we choose.... remember partner may have the Q or the K but not both . If declarer got the K it looks like you can say well done to him ... what now if partner got this cards (and declarer the Q) ? can u see now the card to play ? yes that is rigth, it's the J ? if your not sure that works see the entire deals and test . to end up u need that the D situation is 4333 to realise ur 3 tricks there. the idea of rainy is good but the problem is to do that (play H) u will not really prevent declarer of entry even if he doesn't have the K of C (if he has he doesn't need entry :) ) your partner got this card and as u can see the finesse will work . Yes i agree the play will not be easy thougth here is the deal KJ104 A 1084 AQJ74 65 A72KQ1084 J752K53 AJ961062 83 Q983 963 Q72 K95 declarer play i guess , on this one , i'm pretty sure than some think "hey syl u must be wrong giving the problem, it's an easy one" :) well let's see ... again and again first things when the lead is done don't play immediately and sum up some information . how many sure tricks do we have ? 2 in S, 1 in H , 3 in D (yes we count that 3) , and 1 in C , that is 7 . there's 2 colour that can give those tricks, D and C . in C it's easy if Finesse work it's one more , if not well u don't do 1 more . now in D there's some who will say "if D 2-2 or 3-1 i have 2 more tricks if D 4-0 i have just one (after giving one D)". let's stop here and imagine the play . D 2-2 it's true no problem , D 3-1 (with Jxx , J singleton everything is ok) "i play AKQ , J finally fall and... huh gosh i'm blocked :) " . ok so now u can see the problem . how to unblock ? that can be done if i can throw one of my 4 D in hand on a H in D? so maybe now u have an idea rigth ? let see the play together . K of H duck , why duck? because if u need to unblock , playing H, u need to be sure not to be down 1 immediately so that means u need to know H are not 6-1 . you take second round east follow . u play AK of D . * D are 4-0? u play a small D hoping that H are 4-3 or the person who have 4D don't have a H. and then the 9th tricks may come on the finesse in C* D are 2-2? everything ok for 9 tricks (u don't need the finesse in C)* D are 3-1 and the J didn't come? u play a H discard a D. your D are magically unblock :) here is the 4 hands 75 8543 AKQ42 63 J62 Q10843KQJ96 727 J63KJ94 1085 AK9 A10 10985 AD72 see u in other adventure :) regardssyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
