jdulmage Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 I would draw AK♠, all trump, then go A♦, out a ♦, if LHO wins the K♦, he either has to play a spade in to the board, a heart, which you win on the board with the Q♥ and dump losers away or he has to play diamond, giving entry to the board. Simple.No need for an endplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdulmage Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 #1 - He just said West had the K♦ and NEVER asked to specify a play if East showed up with it. #2 - I meant to say "no need for *THAT* endplay" Done attempting to look smart?

Trumpace Posted April 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 I would draw AK♠, all trump, then go A♦, out a ♦, if LHO wins the K♦, he either has to play a spade in to the board, a heart, which you win on the board with the Q♥ and dump losers away or he has to play diamond, giving entry to the board. Simple.No need for an endplay. Sorry. Your line fails, for west holds a singleton spade. He ruffs your ♠K and exits with a trump. btw, the question was to spot declarer's mistakes, not to come up with a double dummy line, knowing what key cards west holds. So after 3 cards are played to trick one, what _should_ the declarer have done (single dummy), note that at this juncture, the declarer does not know if West holds the ♦K.
