CSGibson Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 I'd win in hand, heart to the 9, ruff a diamond high, heart to the 8, ruff a diamond, K of clubs-club ruff, K of diamonds pitching a spade. If righty wins, I'll fall back on the spade finesse, if lefty wins I'm 100% lock. And this appears to be an intermediate-advanced level problem to me, Phil, though I'd expect that high advanced players wouldn't have to think too long. The elimination/endplay would come very easily to an expert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BunnyGo Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) I think I have the best line, it's at least a pretty good one: Win the club. Heart to the 9, ruff a diamond, Club K, ruff a club, ruff a diamond, heart to the 8 (be sure to preserve that 6) lead the K, pitching a spade. This works whenever West has the diamond A or East has the spade K. Wow, two people posted the same line while I was typing this.

inquiry Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Too tough for Advanced? This is a problem my partner sent to me this morning, I don't know if I have the right answer yet. You have the right answer if you did the following win club, play heart ace, cash club king, ruff clubruff diamond, heart six to dummyruff a diamond...heart 2 to dummydiamond king, and if east plays low, pitch a spade if WEST wins diamond ace, he is endplayed. IF east covers the diamond ace, ruff, and exit a small spade. If east can not overtake whatever spade west plays without using the king, he is endplayed, if east wins the spade you will get the chance for the spade finesse when he leads a spade. The ruff and exit a small spade wins if west has something like SKJT tripleton or sKJ doubleton or if east is asleep and doesn't realize the need to overtake when he lacks the spade king, and of course, anytime east has the spade king.

Wd Ben. In addition to the reaosons you mentioned, west may as well have stiff K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
