Spanish Trials 3

I will just play very simply - coping with 4-1 hearts looks very tough.

 

Win the K.

Play the Ace and K of hearts.

run the clubs, pitching a spade.

K from hand.

 

I am hoping that East has the 3rd heart, and West has both Aces.

West can win the spade and play another, then I play a to the ten.

 

If the club was a singleton, and West doesn't have the 3rd trump, he is likely 6241 and the Q is coming down.

West ducks the T - what now?

You snipped the last line of my post.

 

If West looks to be 6241, and ducks the A, I will play the K next, of course, because the queen would be doubleton whether West wins the Ace or not.

If West looks to have 2 diamonds and ducks the A, coming down to singleton Ace(?), I can play low.

If diamonds are 3-3 and the A is ducked, I will probably go down, as I will if the is won by the Queen, or if trumps break badly.

I think this line fails because you west will return a diamond and east will have Q9.

 

The winning line was to play the same, but low diamond to the King.
