mikeh Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 6n My best chance is to win in hand, and lead a ♣ to the J. If it wins, then I lead the ♠Q. This will work by force if S holds the stiff J, but the main chance is that N holds the Kxxx and does not cover for fear that you hold AJ9xx: should he cover, he has blown the entire suit. If he does cover, and the J does not drop, continue a ♠. You hope that the winner of the defensive ♠ trick does not hold the ♣A and gets lazy. This is why you lead a ♣ early and why, I suggest, you lead to the J. It is not unknown for North to duck, and if S holds the A, it is almost certain that he will duck.

Guest Jlall Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 It's like a "pseudo-finesse" like in the article. Not sure why it's called that, but it is a common term and is not derogatory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 It seems you will have more chances in 6NT than 6♣ :), I think playing ♠Q at trick 2 is the best of all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 There is a somewhat obscure play for 6 clubs if you can find the singleton ace - win two round of diamonds, three rounds of hearts, then lead a low club from dummy. If hearts are 3/3 and the singleton Ace is with North along with the King of spades...... So Queen of spades at trick 2 is probably the winner.
