jchiu Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 I was cleaning my desk today, and found a few bridge problems on one yellowed sheet of paper 1.

Codo Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 1. PD promised 5 Hearts 5 Clubs, some points and more spades then Diamonds.Looks like an ugly misfit. :-) I prefer 5 Diaomnd . Despite my strong hand, I doubt that we will reach any makable contract and 5 Diamond is the best guess. 2. I ruff and let the diamond jack run. 3. a Spade trying to establish the suit for discards. 4. X, the xx in Diamonds makes me fear, that 5 Spade may not work here. But I don´t see, how they can get 4 tricks outside diamonds. so I X with confidence.And yes I absolute agree with the Double of 4 NT. 5. pass and Q of Spade.

whereagles Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 1. Hum.. looks like responder misbid, but ok. I'm going to bid 5♦ now, on pard's void, hoping to lose 2 diams or 1 diam and 1 club. Seems safer than being heart-forced in 4♠.. lol. 2. Ruff and run the ♦J. If it holds, back to hand on a trump and lead a diamond to the ace. If it loses, ruff heart, draw trump and you can probably claim at that stage. 3. Setup spades, wtp? 4. I take it pard would have doubled with a doubleton diamond. Since I don't think we can set this more than 2, I'll try my luck in 5♠, albeit with trepidation. Dbl of 4NT is ok. 5. Seems like pard has spades locked up. Pass and lead ♠Q. Easy set.. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 1) pass; there are probably more options in 4♠ than in 5♦ opposite a void. 4) Dbl 4NT then 5♠, as partner is unlikely to hold more than one diamond for his pass of 5♦.
