Walddk Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 [hv=d=w&v=n&n=saj73haq105da5caq7&w=sq8h9764dqj962c43&e=sk10954hj832dk4cj8&s=s62hkd10873ck109652]399|300|Scoring: MP[/hv] World Championships, mixed pairs. NS: Zia Mahmood - Jill Meyers. EW: unknown. West passed, and it went 2NT pass 3NT, all pass. Yes, 6♣ is cold, but it's virtually impossible to get there. 2 out of 83 NS pairs were in the club slam. Anyway, you're in the normal looking 3NT at MP. Lead: ♠9 (none or two higher) to the queen and ace. How many tricks would you and I take? And how many did Zia end up with?

Gerardo Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 11 from the top, but both East and West must find 4 discards. I think I would get 11 by ♥ to K and run the ♣s Guess he got 13, but I don't see how. Perhaps 12 is more realistic (or not). Seeing both hands, not touching ♥ makes lots of sense. Also, ♦A at trick 2 looks interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

han Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Since you can make 12 tricks against best defense, Zia must have tricked them for 13. But I have no clue how one could do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
