Hanoi5 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I'm playing a team match of 198 boards. With 64 boards to go we are trailing by 100 imp's. I was starting to feel the 'need' to get imp's and so got to 6♦ in a 3NT hand: ♠9xx♥Qx♦A?xx♣AJxx ♠AK♥A98x♦QT9x♣KQx 1♦-2NT-6♦. A diamond was led with the comment:'I don't think this will give anything away'. Needless to say I went down. The ♦8 might have been the ? card on the table and if so I could have made the contract, do you see how? By the way, we're down 140 imp's, 48 boards to go, do you have any advice?

skjaeran Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 The easy way to make this is to play east for ♥K, ♦KJ tight and clubs 3-3. Win the ace in dummy, cash the top spades and three clubs ending in dummy. Ruff a spade and endplay east with the ♦K. As for the match, I'd throw in the towel at this point. You've got enough.

Phil Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 198 boards is a strange number. 128 maybe? I would have conceded, but since I'm still playing and not drinking I will take Harald's line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanoi5 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 ♦8 was third so no way to make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
