kuhchung Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 East defends suboptimally on this hand, allowing me to make on an incorrect line. After DK lead, south can draw two rounds of trumps, then play ace and a club. East wins and plays a third round of clubs, which subjects W to a simple squeeze. East needs to play a diamond to destroy the threat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuhchung Posted August 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 As an aside, I definitely took this line from the viewpoint of a tester. I would never take such an inferior line in reality. Haha. Ha. ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfi Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 There are a few hands which don't punish you for an inferior line. If you spot something this straightforward on Level 4, just consider it a test to see if you can see things from the defender's point of view as well. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
