rona_ Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 Bridgemaster level 3 D-4. If you have the cd there are lots of deals with explanations on elimination play. If you have downloaded from bbo the above is there. That isn't the only one, there are dozens of deals where Fred explains what elimination play is...good luck :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricK Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 An elimination play is where a defender is thrown-in and his options are either to give a ruff and discard or lead into a tenace. It is called an elimination play because declarer eliminates one or more suita from his hand and dummy before performing the throw in so that the defender can't play that suit without conceding a ruff and discard.

PriorKnowledge Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 In other words, you are "eliminating" the defender's safe exits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricK Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 In other words, you are "eliminating" the defender's safe exits Yes, but if there is no ruff and discard possibility then this is just a "throw-in". At least that is the normal usage here. It maybe that the exact terminology is different in other places. It seems like a good idea for there to be different terms to describe these different sorts of end-plays. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daswallow Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 The most common elimination play is when, in a trump contact, you pull trumps finishing with trumps both in hand and in dummy, elimate two side suits and give the lead to the defence. The defence then either have to give you a ruff-discard or open up the fourth suit for you.There are loads of variations and this type of play comes up very often.
