With 21 points you are supposed to bid 6NT. The evaluations probably aren't that accurate, but at least you have an excuse to bid 6NT. Click NEXT to continue. |

♦ = 2 : ♣ = 4 :: Total = 11
There are two places you might find your twelfth winner. You can finesse East for the ♠Q; this is a 50% chance. Or, the ♦s might split 3-3; this is about a 40% chance. If you try the ♠ finesse and it fails you will go down even if the ♦s are splitting 3-3. If you play ♦A, ♦K then another ♦, a 4-2 ♦ split will defeat you even if the ♠Q was with East. Two chances are always better than one. The way to take both chances is to duck a ♦ at trick 2. Win whatever the defenders play next and then test the ♦s. If they do split your last ♦ will be trick #12. But if they don't split you can still try the ♠ finesse. Click NEXT to see. |

Ducking the ♦ was the correct play - not just because it worked, but because
it gave you the opportunity to try an alternate method if it didn't work.
