ahydra Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Fun hand from a team match I just played. Puzzle for I/A - experts please use spoiler tags. [hv=pc=n&s=saj96hakj52da93c6&n=sqt5ht987dq64ct73&d=s&v=b&b=7&a=1h2c2hp4hppp]266|200[/hv] IMPs, both vul. West leads CK, East showing upside-down count with the 9, then switches to the DJ (standard leads from sequences). How do you plan to make the hand? ahydra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FelicityR Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Delightful! Nice problem. Timing is all. Thank you for posting. Small hint. The 4th ♠ is a useful card if you can get to dummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ♦ switch looks normal and you would lead the J from any holding so as not to confuse partner holding KT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
