inquiry Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 [hv=pc=n&s=sk62hk3dak76ckt42&n=sq5hqj54dqj52cq95&d=n&v=n&b=5&a=p1s1np3nppp]266|200|I would have preferred the club Ten be the spade ten, but as luck would have it, West laid down the ♠A at trick one, giving us two spade stoppers. East drops the ♠J and West continues a small spade to the queen. Plan you play. [/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broze Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Lead towards ♥K, holds (else 9 tricks), cross in ♦, lead towards ♣K, holds, lose a heart and claim making. You're right - textbook classic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 broze, I think you have the wrong player as having opened the bidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broze Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Do I? I don't think so. I did misremember the ♥ suit as KJxx opposite Qx when replying though which meant my reply didn't make sense - edited answer accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrax Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Nice problem, broze's seems the only line that works given that E must hold both aces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
