Fluffy Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Since south is declarer I guess it is south who introduced hearts on the bidding :( , I wonder how. I would take the simple line of ♦A+♦ruff + ♣AK+♣. ruffing low. but since it is a problem maybe it is one of those hand that you would make if you didn't have ♣K.

wclass___ Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Nice problem for correspondence bridge(drawing parallels with chess) Suppose you play ♦A-♦ ruff- ♣AK-♣if west discards ♠ best play seems to be ♦ discardI guess East will win and return ♣;west will ruff small and you overruff [hv=n=shq86dq8c&w=sxxh3dk9c&e=sxxhajxdc&s=shkt9dct9]399|300|[/hv] You can't stop west from getting 2 tricks... down oneNow you probably realize that you could make this if you had ruffed ♦ with ♥9Play ♥8 and after east puts small play ♥7 and start crossruff Actually i doun't think that this is the best % line, but as you know ...2nd best line is usally ok...

Mosene Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Well - you can play RHO for Ajx of hearts. If true, then play a heart off board (rho plays low) and finesse 10 of hearts. Then play 9 of clubs - not ruffing. Assuming RHO wins this - there is no recourse (again - assuming Ajx of hearts). A spade ruff can be taken in dummy and a low heart played. A second club you can win and then pull trumps (no threat of club ruff if RHO has AJx). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
