Somebody found a line that makes against perfect defence, :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 ♠QJ3 ♥A42 ♦J76 ♣AJ63♠T986 ♠K5♥QJ8763 ♥T♦2 ♦AQT954♣Q9 ♣T542 ♠A742 ♥K95 ♦K83 ♣K87 Where there is eight tricks, there is often 9. This is a vulnerable stopper squeeze without count, but the club suit is unfortunately blocked (put the club 7 or 8 in dummy and club 3 in south it is easier). But you can let WEST hoist EAST up onto the gallows. Winning line.... T1. Win ♦ with king, T2. ♣J hook, T3. ♠Q-♠K-♠A, You know have eight tricks (2♠+2♥+1♦+3♣). First thing to do (double dummy of course) is to let west win two spades (if he likes)... T4. ♠JT5. ♠ to west, we assume west takes his good spade... (it doesn't matter, if he returs a heart, we win in dummy and continue spade tor reach same point on trick 8.T6. ♠T, T7. ♥ to ♥KT8. ♥Duck to WEST who must lead a heart in this postion... ♥A ♦J ♣A6 ♥xxxx ♦AQ ♣T5 ♥9 ♦83 ♣7 What is EAST to do? IF he throws a club, dummy wins two club tricks. If he throws a ♦, a cute ending occurs. He is thrown in with the ♦A and has a choice. He can lead the ♣10 allowing dummy to win the last two ♣ tricks, or he can lead the ♣5 allowing you to enter South with the ♣7 to cash the good ♦8. Turns out you don't need the high ♣ spot in dummy after all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trpltrbl Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Squeeze or http://mnet.bg/~mfn/s.gif's to be 3-3 with west having the high ones. Don't have the bidding but it seems that East opened some amount of http://mnet.bg/~mfn/d.gif's. So maybe ducking the http://mnet.bg/~mfn/d.gif with no entree in the hand will not happen, and maybe it will. If it does happen then Ben is looking good, if it doesn't happen then there are other possibilities for squeezes too. Mike :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cave_Draco Posted January 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Close enough, Ben, :D. The ref is http://www3.telus.net/ldh/bridge/s_winkle.txt A Suicide Winkle squeeze! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
