EricK Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 There are 7 tricks in dummy. After partner has played the J and Q of spades you know for a fact that declarer must have 9 tricks - a count of the points shows that partner can't have both Aces, so declarer either has both Aces or one Ace and ♠K. But if declarer had ♠K he simply takes it on the first round and runs 9 tricks, so partner must have that card to give you a chance. Now your defence is clear.

badderzboy Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 After the 2 ♠ encouraging, could partner could help you by playing the K on the second round therefore prominsing the Q? You play off your A and then play to his alleged Q and bingo? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 hi scpetic. it went ten of spades low low low then a spade to pards jack...both held. Now if declarer had had the king wouldnt he have won the king earlier? since he didnt pard must have it (his SQ was misleading but its still not too hard to figure out if you think about it).
