frouu Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 [hv=d=n&v=n&n=saqj86hq7daqt84cq&s=s2hkjt9652dk96c76]133|200|Scoring: ?north east south west1♠ pass 2♥ pass3♦ pass 4♥ passpass pass[/hv] I was browsing white house junior website. This is "problem 1" from http://www.jeugdbridge.nl/specials/2007-WHJ/WHJbulletin.html West leads ♦J. We need to break the comminications of opponents to prevent diamond ruffs. How do you play? A ) Win with ♦K, play a clubB ) Win with ♦K, lead a spade to ♠Q, if wins, play ♠A and discard a ♦ line ( A ) fails if east has a ♣A or K and hearts are distributed exactly as west holding ♥ 843 and east holds ♥A . line ( B ) fails if east has ♠K and east has at least one small ♥. (you lose ♠K , ♥A, ♣A, and at least one ♦ ruff) It appears that line A is the percentage play, but solution says something like "didn't you play as in line B? then you're down 1" :) am i missing something, is line B really better?? otherwise I fail to understand the meaning of the problem...

david_c Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Agree, playing a club looks better. The writer appears to be confusing the word "solution" with "what would have worked at the table". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
