♠ 9 8 5 ♥ Q ♦ A 7 6 4 3 ♣ A 10 9 2 |
South plays 6♠. West leads the ♦K.
Losers: ♠ 1? : ♥ 1 : ♦ 0 : ♣ 0 : Total = 2? If trumps don't split 3-2 you will definitely go down 1, so assume they do split. You could finesse East once in ♥s, or use a ruffing finesse on West, but the cleanest approach is just to ruff two ♥s in dummy. Of course you must do this before you pull trumps. Win the ♦A in dummy. Play the ♥Q to the ♥A and ruff the ♥10 with dummy's ♠8. Play the ♠5 to your ♠A and ruff the ♥J with dummy's ♠9. Return to your hand with a ♣ and pull another round of trumps with your ♠K. Leaving the master trump out start playing ♣ winners. Someone may ruff with their master trump but that's the only trick they will get. Click NEXT to see the full deal. |

It was very bold to bid this slam and North/South were fortunate to find a distribution where it could be made.
But that would have been all for nothing if South had not found the PLAN to make it. Deal 20 |
