What's the safest line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdct Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) I think I'll start off with ♠A and another with a view to losing 1♠ and 1♥ but still retain a chance to cope with trumps 3-0 onside. I initially thought I'd duck a ♠ first, but then I could potentially lose an unnecessary trump trick if ♠ are 5-1.

MrAce Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 And now you loose an unnecessary trump trick if West has only four spades and K7 or Q7 in trumps. Rainer Herrmann. I am not defending his line, however what you said confused me. West is likely to have 7♣ and if he also has K7♥ + 4 card ♠ this makes him void in ♦. If so i don't think you can ever make this contract anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrAce Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I meant RHO, not West, sorry. Rainer Herrmann I didnt check in detail and i trust you, but i doubt we can make it even if East has 4♠ +H7 ♥ Assume then West has Kx K xxx AKQxxxx. Needs ♦ Q on i guess.
