Antrax Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I rarely get these, so if I'm not the only one, here's a spoilered solution. Lead spade. W must pitch club or you win ♣A and ♥2. You pitch heart, E wins. Exits ♣H or you win ♣J and ♣A. You duck and E is endplayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You duck and E is endplayed. good job and your solution is correct, but just for completeness you don't have to duck the club honor exit... you can win and play a club towards your jack, RHO must win and the 7 will be bigger than his 6 at the end. ducking is fine too though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwen checked some of them by writing a program and running it on his IBM mainframe, at the week-end. Nowadays, DD-programs like Bridgify http://www.bridgify.net/ (free) solve them in seconds. The programs also show that many of the problems, published by Darwen and others, were flawed!

fromageGB Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 More of a throw in rather than a squeeze, but it can't lose, because whatever the distribution your Ace of clubs is always going to be a trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West is in a positional squeeze. Switch the East and West hands and try to make it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hendrik13 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 play small small S, look what west discard. If discard C then loser H, If discard H loser C. East win and then play King C, juat wait. an then east play Queen C take with ace and you win the last trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
