Fluffy Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 [hv=pc=n&s=sj62haktd4ca98653&w=st73hq52dt953ckq4&n=sakq5h984dkj76cj2&e=s984hj763daq82ct7&d=s&v=0&b=11&a=1cp1dp2cp2sp2np3nppp&p=stsas4s2cjc7c3cqd3d6dq]399|300[/hv] You can see it in the diagram I hope ♠10 lead, east discouraged with ♠4♣J run to ♣Q Now the ke point, west led ♦3 his smallest diamond to show interest in the suit, but east won ♦Q giving declarer either ♦10 or ♦9, and returned a heart.

gnasher Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 I don't think anyone's really to blame. From West's point of view, South might have a singleton 8 of diamonds, in which case a low diamond is the best way to give him a guess. From East's point of view, South's hearts might be AQx, in which case what he did was right. South did quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Are we playing partner to have led a low diamond from 953 with decent hearts? I think the actual layout is more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Don't give attitude at trick 1 with AKQx in dummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfa1010 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Tough. I don't see that east knows enough to stick in the 8. But he should have continued diamonds. Switching to hearts is not giving enough weight to partner's encouraging ♦3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
