Quantumcat Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I play! After ruffing the third club high, play the other high trump (West unblocks) then play three rounds of diamonds and ruff one, and the ace of spades. Now exit with your trump, and you get a ruff/discard on the club! If West does not unblock, then you play two diamonds and exit with heart and get a lead into your spades. Contract made!

Trumpace Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Yes, defending looks right. Interestingly, this defense can probably be found single dummy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Yes, defending looks right. Interestingly, this defense can probably be found single dummy too. How can you find this single dummy? How do you know that the promotion of the trump queen was not the setting trick? Give declarer F.E. A,AKJxxx, KJxx,xx and you will look quite silly after you unblocked the queen of hearts.

I think once East overtook the CQ, he will not have an outside entry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
