PFormaini Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Here is SETUP #1: N-S cold for SEVEN SPADES on any lead and defense..... [hv=n=sahdakqj109cakqj108&w=s5432hakqj109dc765&e=s9876h2d765432c43&s=skqj10h876543d8c92]399|300|[/hv] If West leads: 1. A SPADE: South wins in dummy, comes to the CLUB 9, draws trump. DUMMY is now high. 2. A HEART: Dummy ruffs with the SPADE Ace, comes to the Club 9, draws trump. Dummy is now high. 3. A CLUB. South wins in DUMMY with any card but the 8, plays the trump ACE, comes to the Club 9, draws trumps. Dummy is high. Now for SETUP #2 - SWITCH NORTH'S TRUMP ACE with WEST'S Spade Deuce (or ANY of his 4 small spades, as it turns out): SETUP #2: E-W can make FOUR SPADES on defense in this manner: [hv=n=sahdakqj109cakqj108&w=s5432hakqj109dc765&e=s9876h2d765432c43&s=skqj10h876543d8c92]399|300|[/hv] 1. WEST leads the SPADE ACE, removing dummy's trump. 1 trick for E-W. 2. WEST cashes 6 heart tricks. EAST discards all his clubs along the way. SOUTH must follow suit the entire way. 7 tricks for E-W. 3. WEST leads a club. EAST ruffs it. 8 tricks for E-W. 4. EAST leads a diamond, WEST ruffs it. 9 tricks for E-W. 5. WEST leads another club. EAST ruffs it. 10 tricks for E-W. South claims the last 3 tricks with high trumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
