uva72uva72 Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 My link Does the play of this hand represent an example of Morton's Fork? The ♠ play at trick 2 looks like it, since it gives West the option of conceding the 12th trick immediately or subsequently. However, every example I have found in the literature involves discarding the threat card (♠K in this instance) while here it is retained in order to endplay West. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not the classic variant, which involves later discarding the spade K, but it is a variant, and rather a nice one, where west gets strip squeezed if he doesnt take his ace and concedes the contract if he does not. Well played. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
