MrAce Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 What is the purpose of this post ? Anyone who can click on GIB in your diagram can answer this question even if they are blind and cant find without GIB. I really didnt understand the purpose of a double dummy trick 2 move question.

broze Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 What is the purpose of this post ? Clearly the post is merely that of an interesting hand rather than an actual challenge. Though I agree, it would have been nice to see it posed as a single-dummy problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 For what it is worth I think that 4S was an awful bid. I like the 4H bid from the other table much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

han Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I imagine that Michael didn't want to bid 4NT because it would sound like a suggestion to play there. I think it should be. So he has a choice between 5C and 5D, and I think that 5D really does show a 5-6 shape but perhaps it is forcing, or at least shows a much better hand? I'm curious what others think. 5C could be silly when partner has diamonds, 5D could be silly when partner has clubs or equal length. Hard to say which is more likely. However, if the opponents bid again you'd sure prefer to have bid 5D. I don't know if we want to publically discuss all of yesterday's cardplay errors, somehow those seem more painful than the misbids. On the other hand, it is possible that we would learn something.

han Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I wouldn't call this single dummy anymore, I think you know almost everything about the hand. From the lead you know that Andy has 3 or 4 diamonds, so declarer is 6-4 in spades and diamonds, or perhaps 6-5. Given his play declarer probably doesn't have a void in hearts, so from Andy's count card in clubs you know that he has a singleton club (he can't have 3). So declarer's shape is either 6-1-5-1 or 6-2-4-1. 6-2-4-1 must be the most likely by far. If so you know the hearts are running. You also know that declarer doesn't have the communication to ruff 2 diamonds in dummy if you continue with a club, and you can't prevent a single diamond ruff anyway.

I posted this because I thought it was an interesting problem. I don't know how to tell hand viewer to hide the other hands. You can do this by clicking on North's hand.

gszes Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 looking at the dummy and remembering p bid 3n (they may ormay not have a spade trick). If they only have one leading a spade is a sure way of making them lose it. Declarer playing the club K off the board is almost assuredly short in clubs and we know from the bidding they are short inhearts (unless they are crazy). From there we can easly imaginethem having 4+ dia and the rest of their hand would not permitthem to run the dia to their dia suit because they knowthey would lose the a and another trick even if we cant see it. They cant know they are losing a heart so only a trump loser couldcause them a headache. Returning a low club will make transportationalmost impossible for them. They wont be able to ruff enough diamondsand still be able to pull trumps. As long as we dont make it easy forthem the contract should fail on its own lack of ability.
