kuhchung Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 We have K9876 6542 JT Qx. RHO deals (1H) p (2H) 3C(3D) p (3H) x(p) 4S (x) So to summarize, RHO bid the reds, LHO made a simple raise and then hit us LHO leads a small heart QTx--A9xxAKJxxx K98766542JTQx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeh Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Ruff and sac the queen. Mate in 11.Say the trump Q holds. Next play? Not saying you are wrong, but it is a mistake to consider any line of play without gaming the forking options that arise contingent on how the opps defend.

Not saying you are wrong, but it is a mistake to consider any line of play without gaming the forking options that arise contingent on how the opps defend. I didn't do any real analysis.. I just know kuhchung likes to play the occasional game of chess.If the queen holds it looks straightforward. I'm playing RHO to be 1642. Three rounds of clubs pitching a diamond, DA, D-ruff, H-ruff, D-ruff, exit a heart. Now LHO has three trumps left and I have only two so he is bound to be endplayed on the next trick allowing me to score my king. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now LHO has three trumps left and I have only two so he is bound to be endplayed on the next trick allowing me to score my king. I tried it with lho holding 4333 and can't see a defense even if he wins and plays a trump back or a diamond. With careful play declarer still prevails. I've played around with some variations where rho is 2542 and (say) ducking a diamond early but can't come up with a winning continuation.

Hanoi5 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 We're missing 20 HCP's, heart honours are KJ - AQ, and RHO holds the ♠A? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
