manudude03 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Discard a club from dummy. If East wins, then you can draw trumps and get 3 more discards from dummy via ruffing finesses and ruff a club in dummy. If East lets you win trick 1, then you can play the ace of clubs and crossruff the next 10. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWO4BRIDGE Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 You can make 12 tricks if West makes the mistake of covering ( w/J ) the first ♣ lead ( 10 ) from South.6h, 4c, 2s-ruffs . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at it again, I don't think it even matters if West doesn't cover. Ruff the lead, ruff a diamond and run the ♣T (losing to king) or even just lead a low club from dummy..... Trump back looks best for the defense. Win in hand and take another club finesse (again, ducked). Now ruff a spade and start running clubs. East can now only ruff clubs twice, and doing so means the timing would now be correct to take the ruffing spade finesse after ruffing out the ace. If East does not ruff twice, then you will have 3 club tricks, 6 hearts and 3 spade ruffs. If East doesn't return a trump, it pretty much plays out the same, except East can now ruff 3 clubs, but then you can set up the spades if East ruffs clubs at every opportunity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/hv] Beautiful problem, Zloty! For one solution (triple-squeeze and "tricks on the moon" end-play), hit Next :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
