Can You Defeat 4 Hearts?


Recommended Posts

Am I missing something here?

 

I mean, isn't one option rather simple -- play Declarer for 1552 shape (A J109xx KQJxx xx. Encourage clubs. Win the second club. Lead a diamond. Get in with the trump Ace. Give partner a diamond ruff.

 

That's one line. Sure, partner then needs xxxxx xx x KQxxx, but is that so unlikely?

That's what I was going to say, but seems like the original hand has changed from time to time.
