AL78 Posted September 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 2. ♠7 Another entry for the "Ignore Partner" Brilliancy Prize.[/hv] Systemic small spade. Declarer always has hearts double stopped on this sort of auction. You win the brilliancy prize. [hv=pc=n&s=sqt6haqdk984caqj4&w=skj973h8762djtc93&n=s82ht5da7653ck876&e=sa54hkj943dq2ct52]399|300[/hv] Declarer is one off on a spade lead for 18/22 MPs. On a heart lead declarer makes 11 tricks, 4/22 MPs. Of those defending 2 or 3NT, six found the spade lead and five led a heart. The one NS pair in 4♣ got a strange ♠K lead and made 11 tricks for a near average result. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
