AL78 Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 [hv=pc=n&e=s3haqjdkq854c8743&d=e&v=e&b=6&a=1d1s3d3s4d4spp5dpp5sppp]133|200[/hv] Acol weak NT system. The displayed auction may not be correct. I know partner raised diamonds at some point and North definitely had the last bid, I can't remember whether or not partner doubled before raising. Partner leads the ♦A. I wanted partner to switch to a heart and came up with the idea that this was similar to the situation where dummy comes down with a singleton and the rank of the card played signals which suit to switch too. I knew declarer almost certainly a singleton and thought partner would deduce this, so played the king in an attempt to induce a heart switch. Partner did switch, unfortunately she switched to a club straight into declarer's AQ. That was 5♠= for a bottom instead of 5♠-1 for a top. Oops.

eagles123 Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 Firstly imo you have no reason to bid 5 diamonds but the defence is utterly hopeless from your partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL78 Posted October 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 Firstly imo you have no reason to bid 5 diamonds but the defence is utterly hopeless from your partner. I have likely got the auction wrong but the overall picture of a spade-diamond battle is correct. I was mainly trying to illustrate my thinking in the defence at trick one which almost worked.

LBengtsson Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 Your need to find a new partner! How can the ♦K be anything else than a switch to a ♥ imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
