Lets pretend you have a mild brain hemorrhage, forget to count your tricks and try the ♠T. This draws the King and a low heart is returned. Assuming LHO won't have the ♦A + ♥K + ♣A for the WJO, can you see your way back to nine tricks? Are there variations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is time to check the back of the cards.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesh Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Win, cash the diamonds, discarding 2♠ from dummy and hope ♣ are 4-2, playing KJ♣. If LHO turns up with 3♦ then he is probably 3631, cash the ♦ then play low club and hope to have a singleton 6♣ so you can duck it :P or if RHO hasnt discarded all his spades then play KJ♣ (4225). :D If ♦ are 1-4 with RHO then play a 4th one and he is endplayed :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrMunk Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 gambit the third diamond round? Yes, that seems to be the correct solution. It seems like west is:3-6-2-2. If west has only one diamond we endplay east with the forth diamond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 I was also considering the RC implications when LHO drops the ♦T/9 on the 2nd round. To make this more interesting, I think I'll give declarer the ♣8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If west has only one diamond we endplay east with the forth diamond. If LHO is 3-6-2-2, no need to gambit your 3rd♦. Just cash all ♦ and play KJ♣. At the end RHO will give you a spade :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the 8 is in dummy oh well I think RHO has no defence in case clubs are 5-1 when you play small to the 8♣ and cover cheaply LHO card or even 9 or 10 and then duck the return to dummy's 8. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
