Opening lead diamond 3 (“standard leads”). You cleverly place the diamond ACE with RHO for his double, so you play low. EAST wins diamond ace and exits with a low club.

whereagles Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 Quickie solution (might be incomplete, but this is about as much as I'd try at table): 1. Cash 1 round of spades and 3 rounds of clubs ending in dummy to see who's more likely to hold four spades 2a. If East more likely, cash top diams discarding hearts, cross to hand with the last spade and cash two clubs for a double squeeze 2b. If West more likely, return to hand in spades to cash two clubs discarding a heart and a diam from dummy. Crossing to heart ace should now squeeze West in spades/diams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 The contract is cold as long as ♦J is within west, and ♥K is within east, not so hard assumptions this time :). You would make even if both opponents could held 4+♠, just a non simultaneos double squeeze, the only thing you have to care about is to guard the precious ♥A untill all ♣ have been won. Cash 5♣, ♥A and ♦KQ, this is the ending position: ♠863♥♦Q10♣ ♠AKQ9♥Q♦♣ If the ♥K nor ♦J have appeared on ♦Q trick it means 4 cards left with 1 non ♠ known card on each opponent..... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played just as you said and announced proudly "Coup Vienna". But alas the ♥K was with WEST and a simple finesse had done his work. :) Do I remeber rite, Ben?

This is a (vienna coup) simple squeeze (spade-heart on EAST), played as a double squeeze (as it could be diamond-spade of west). The full hand was....
