Coelacanth Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 [hv=pc=n&s=sakj5hjt4d9874cq5&e=st632h76dj62cak43&d=w&v=b&b=4&a=p1hp1n(Forcing)p2cp3hp4hppp]266|200[/hv] Sorry, the orientation of this diagram is confusing. You are East; South is the dummy. IMPs You lead a top club and cash a second one. Playing standard signals, partner follows up the line with two low clubs and declarer does likewise. And now?

CamHenry Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Spade switch can cost: Q/AKQxx/xxx/Jxxx. Diamond switch can't pick up the suit but can give declarer the guess. This could (though more slowly) set up a suit for discards, but I find it difficult to construct a layout. Heart switch can save declarer the guess. Club continuation seems unlikely to work (e.g. xxx/AKQxx/x/JTxx, when it gives away the contract). I think a diamond is both safest and closest to what partner has signalled for. I play the ♦2.

Antrax Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Not sure if it's applicable for your partnership, but for me partner's first club would be count (one of those "attitude is known" cases) so the second one would be SP for ♦.
