antonylee Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 2016 Spingold Street v. Nickell, board 29 NS Meckwell, EW Bessis/Volcker[hv=pc=n&s=st64hq4dt9cak7654&w=sa92hk93dakq832c8&n=skq875hj865d54cj2&e=sj3hat72dj76cqt93&d=n&v=b&b=13&a=pp2c(precision)2ddrp3cp3nppp]399|300[/hv]South (Meckstroth) led the ♣A and North (Rodwell) followed with the jack. Any thoughts as to what this card indicates? On Vugraph Al Hollander suggested (with some doubt) that it was attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Usually playing an honor shows the top of a sequence, so it denies holding the Queen. But East was unlikely to bid 3NT without the Q, so he doesn't really need this information. I suspect it was suit preference for Spades.

antonylee Posted July 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I initially thought the same, but don't Meckwell play *upside-down* suit preference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude03 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I think it might have been an alarm clock signal, please do something unusual. I don't think a spade switch is that unusual though. Usually when you want to know what a card shows, you look at the next trick to see how it might have been taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 He is simply unblocking to lead through Qxx(x) if he gets in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
