Cyberyeti Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 Ruff a spade, club to the Q pick the trumps up and W comes down to 4 hearts, club A and a spade, when you play the last trump he has to divest himself of the spade, meaning you can duck a club to his bare A and score the K and 3 hearts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude03 Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 Win the trump lead with the king, deep diamond finesse. Club to the queen (West must duck or you have 12 tricks). Spade to the queen, ruff a spade, diamond hook. Now cashing your last diamond and the ♠A puts West in a squeeze without the count (having to find a discard from ♥QTxx ♣Ax) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, finesse ♥J and cash ♥A, revealing the ♥ split. This inspired play establishes the distribution of defenders' hands, which allows declarer to continue double-dummy (or claim).West has been triple squeezed out of his ♠s. Finally, in this 4 card ending, ♠A operates a positional-squeeze on West in the round suits, without the count. Dummy keeps the suit that West abandons and declarer plays it.
