bftboy Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 [hv=d=s&v=b&n=s7642hjda765432cq&s=sakj53h642dcak1052]133|200|Scoring: IMP[/hv] 1♠ by you, x by LHO, and 4♠ by P. Needing a swing on the last board of a swiss, you blast 6 ♠. whatever, it's a play problem. LHO leads ♦ K. You get a much better dummy than you deserve for your crummy bid, so what is your plan to make it? B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vuroth Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I've been awful at these lately, but I'll take a stab. A♦, ruff a ♦. AK♠. Q♣, ruff a ♦ with the J. A♣ throwing a ♥ If ♠s were 2/2 and ♦s 3/3 I'm home If ♠s were 2/2 and ♦s 4/2, ruff a ♥, ruff a ♦, ruff a ♥ and I'm home. If ♠s were 3/1 and ♦s 3/3, concede a ♠ and you're home.

bftboy Posted March 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 the timing is better if you ruff ♦ lead in hand, ♣ to Q, and ruff a 2d ♦. then cash a couple of high trumps. if trumps 2-2, then any 4-3 ♣ division will work, or 3-3 ♦'s. If trumps 3-1, then you need someone to have Jxx in ♣, or 3-3 ♦. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 How about: - ace of diamonds pitching a heart. - club queen. - spade to ace. - club ace pitching a heart. - ruff a club. - spade finesse. Makes if clubs are 4-3, whether the spade finesse loses or wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 You still have one heart to lose, so doesn't a spade loser mean one down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
