awm Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 ♦T, winning, discard a heart. ♦7... RHO basically must ruff with ♣4 and you discard another heart. If RHO returns ♣9, you win in dummy. Cash a diamond, RHO ruffs, you overruff with ♣K, return to dummy with heart and pull RHO's last trump, cash the last diamond and concede a heart at the end. If RHO returns ♥, you win in dummy. Cash a diamond, RHO ruffs, you overruff with ♣K. Now ♥A and ruff a ♥. Now ruff a ♠. RHO can overruff, but at this point you can ruff his heart return in dummy and pull his last trump, then cash diamonds. If RHO refuses to ruff diamonds you can generally just continue playing them.

awm Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 You won the heart ace twice Adam? Ok maybe too early in the morning for me. :) Try this one: Cash ♦T and pitch ♥.Cash ♦7, overruff RHO's ♣4 with ♣K.♥ to A, cash ♦6, discard ♥ when RHO ruffs. If RHO returns club away from his queen, then dummy is good except for a losing heart at the end. If RHO returns heart, ruff in hand. Now dummy has a diamond and ♣AJ8; RHO has ♣QT and two hearts. Play a spade and ruff in dummy. RHO can score one more trump (either overruff now or score it later) but that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
