Fluffy Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 after a diamond lho wins ♦Q after some hessitation and plays a club showing 3, you ruff low the third round, and RHO is marked with ♣KQJ9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanoff Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 after a diamond lho wins ♦Q after some hessitation and plays a club showing 3, you ruff low the third round, and RHO is marked with ♣KQJ9. I was expecting a trump back and then the hand just plays itself though I hadn't appreciated that when north has 3 diamonds, one more club ruff is needed. Without the trump return, declarer has to adjust slightly in case north's shape is 3244 (or 4234) by taking 9 trumps and ♣A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted January 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 RHO's hesitation suggested he had short spades, the winning line was to play for ♠Q to be onside making the diamonds via double ruffing finese.
