TylerE Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 How cheap do I get to win the first trick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 How about something like this: Win lead in hand (I'm going to assume E puts in either the J or T)A♠duck a spade in both handsI'll assume RHO wins and exits a diamond (Leaving W with Hxx at this point)I'll win the ♦, and lead a spade towards the Q. Assuming this holds (or LHO pops the K) I now have an established spade trick in dummy. Hrrm, eh, I dunno, I do much better on this kind of problem at the table, but I'm assuming the winnging line is some sort endplay with W to score a 3rd ♦ for the 9th trick.

I'm still a little puzzled whether or not I can make this - let's assume the opponents stay off the club suit. I do think ducking the first round of spades is best however. This was in a robot race and it wasn't practical to go to the library on this one, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFA Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 If they promise to stay off the club suit and you read the layout (who has the ♠K), 3NT can be made: ♦ALose spade to eastDuck heartWin ♥KDuck diamond to westWin ♦KLose spade to eastWin ♥ACash the spade for the double squeeze.

Win ♥A. Finally, cash ♠x for a double squeeze.If RHO belatedly switches to ♣ after declarer loses the 2nd ♠, declarer can still struggle home.If RHO exits with ♣Q, then declarer wins ♣K and finesses ♣T.If RHO exits with ♣x, then declarer plays small and wins LHO's ♣J with dummy's ♣A. Now RHO is left with sole ♣ control. Hence dummy's winning ♠x executes a criss-cross squeeze.[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
