nige1 Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 [hv=n&v=B&d=N&w=SAK9865HKTD42CAJ3&s=SQ432HAJ96DAT653&n=H754DKQJ87CQT972&a=PP1D1S5DXPPP&p=SAD7S7S2C2C4D3C3HAHTH4H3]300|300| Harry Smith's Lockdown teams. In the other room, South made 5♦ but I found a losing line in 5♦ X. If declarer escapes a ♦ lead, there are lots of winning lines in this interesting contract but GIB reveals double-dummy surprizes. I ruffed a ♠, ruffed a ♣ and cashed ♥A. (Click Next to peruse the position).A. Now I ruffed a ♠, which led to defeat . To ensure success, from that position, declarer must play a red card.B. If you don't cash ♥A; but instead ruff another ♠ and another ♣, then GIB says, you should exit with ♥6. [/hv] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBengtsson Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 good problem, nige1. hand is excellent learning technique for crossruff. however, despite two aces west must always lead a trump against any contract bid like this. its not as easy a hand to play as it first looks. not sure why east is doubling :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
