matmat Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 this may depend on the lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggieb Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Yes, it seems like south can always take 8 tricks. Either red suit lead will obviously give up at least 8 tricks, and it is also easy to generate an 8th trick on a spade lead. The most interesting variation is a high club lead. South does best to cash his hearts and continually exit in clubs. LHO can exit once with the ♥Q, again with the ♦J or low (doesn't matter), but then east will come under pressure in spades and diamonds. The same will occur if west cashes his club tricks out; since he has only 3 diamonds, and RHO must pitch down to 3 diamonds (must preserve ♠Ax), east must always keep two spades and 3 diamonds. Exiting with a diamond at trick 11 will result in a guaranteed spade trick. Note that if west does not force south to ruff, south can force the same ending by cashing his extra club.

peachy Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I meant to say, after CK lead, against best defense. Was so excited to finally get a hand diagram done (which I didn't know how to do, in the past) that I sent it before I was finished...
