gszes Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 I did not know this play had a specific name every time I have seen it in print the author merely called it an unblocking play or get that ace out of your hands like a hot potato.

Zelandakh Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 These types of coup are known collectively as "the jettison play". The normal case does not involve giving up a trick in the suit though, so someone could certainly consider adding a more specific name as Nigel looks to have done.

msjennifer Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 An exit play involving the sacrifice of a trick in order to win two or more tricks later is called a GAMBIT.Thi term is derived from CHESS.Hence in the deals wherein an unblocking play has been made to develop an Endplay later may be called “ a jettison exit gambit ” .The term gambit has been described by the late George S Coffin in his book “Endplays In Bridge “.
