What are the exact east/west hands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 West, who leads, holds the missing spades without the Q (which is singleton with East) and the missing clubs and his only red card is a heart, of course. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLow21 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 West, who leads, holds the missing spades without the Q (which is singleton with East) and the missing clubs and his only red card is a heart, of course.Yes and on the run of the black winners East gets squeezed in the reds. Can West do something with the A♠--namely, can he open with a club and either (1) win the second spade and return a heart (assuming one round hasn't been cashed) or (2) duck the first 2 spades to avoid rectifying the count?

Win, spade to king, west ducks. Now you play the ♥A!, stripping west's only red card, and another spade. West wins but must put you back into your hand with 11 winners, and you can squeeze east.Or he ducks, you win the 9, and run clubs for the same squeeze. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
