nigel_k Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Assuming the * means 12-14 declarer has twelve tricks with the spade finesse. We need to hope he has only three diamonds, so we can't beat it if he has AT doubleton of spades as he'll have four clubs and we will be squeezed in the black suits. Therefore cover the first spade and hope partner's spades are good enough while we hold on to clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 agree with nigel, won't discard ♠9, so ♠10 might be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
