You win the Ace and cash the Ace of trump. RHO shows out. How do you play? Fred GitelmanBridge Base Inc.www.bridgebase.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 I'm going to assume W is 5233 with the club Q, because I'm stupid and can't figure out how to make this if this isn't true. I'm assuming E would've bid something with 8 hearts. I play the spade Q and a spade to dummy's J over W's 9. Then I cash 3 rounds of diamonds. I play a fourth diamond; if W ruffs the fourth round, it's over, so he pitches a club (irrelevant what he pitches). I pitch dummy's heart. I play small to dummy's club J, then back to my K. Now I play my last diamond, which gives west no response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Hidden: Finesse ♣J, cash ♣A, then the spades, West splitting, then the diamonds. If West ruffs its over. If he doesn't I pitch the heart first, then the club, and I am in my hand at trick 12. This way makes when West started with ♣Qx too.

Patapon Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 I think you also can make if West in dealt with only 2 cards in Club with the Queen.After 3 rounds of trumps, I cross in my hand with in Diamonds and finesse the Queen in Club now. Then I cash the Ace of Club and now run the Diamond.If West ruffs I draw the last trump and cross in close hand with a Club to the King to make the last Diamond. If West refused to ruff, I discard a Heart and play my last Diamond.If he refuses to ruff again I discard the Club from dummy … It is important to start with the Clubs otherwise West could refuse to ruff the Diamond and discard his Clubs instead...

Fluffy Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 I was thinking long about playing low spade at trick 3 keeping spade queen in hand, but I finally dropped it becuase it blocks the trumps when LHO latter ruffs a diamond. Best I think is ♣J, then ♣A and then diamonds. I think it will do just as good as Noble's line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
