You win ♦10 in dummy, and when you cash ♥A LHO discards ♣5. What now? Hidden for experts would be wellcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinidad Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 The full deal is probably: [hv=n=sk63hkj52dqt62caj&w=sjt954hdj974cxxxx&e=saqh98763d5cxxxxx&s=s872haqt4dak83cq4]399|300|[/hv] Obviously, it is most likely that LHO has the ♣K, but I have seen stranger things in my life. I don't think that West can have the ♠A, since it makes both West's opening lead and East's play to trick one somewhat strange. So, I will duck a spade to East's ace. East will exit in trump and I will play all the trumps, leaving something like: [hv=n=sk63hkj52dqt62caj&w=sjt954hdj974cxxxx&e=saqh98763d5cxxxxx&s=s872haqt4dak83cq4]399|300|[/hv] Now, I can cash ♦AKQ and ♠K. If East ruffs he will have to play clubs. If East doesn't ruff, I just cash the ♣A and East will get the last trick with his trump. Rik P.S. The same line works if East has more diamonds. The key is that he will have ♠AQ and five hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFA Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I can't see any way home, if east doesn't have ♠AQ doubleton. Given this, I have several possible lines. Draw trumps for instance and play diamonds. He will have to lead a club for me eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
