Loser List: ♠ = 0 : ♥ = 1 :
♦ = 0 : ♣ = 1 :: Total = 2
A very simple Plan would be for you to pull trumps and then guess who holds the ♣Q. Simple, but putting your slam on a 50% chance isn't very satisfying. NEXT |

A very simple Plan would be for you to pull trumps and then guess who holds the ♣Q. Simple, but putting your slam on a 50% chance isn't very satisfying. How about an elimination play instead? Win the ♥A. Then play to dummy's ♠K. West shows out and you must temporarily stop drawing trumps. NEXT |

♠ K Q 9 6 5 3 ♥ 6 2 ♦ J 5 ♣ K 10 4 |
Loser List: ♠ = 0 : ♥ = 1 :
♦ = 0 : ♣ = 1 :: Total = 2
A very simple Plan would be for you to pull trumps and then guess who holds the ♣Q. Simple, but putting your slam on a 50% chance isn't very satisfying. How about an elimination play instead? Win the ♥A. Then play to dummy's ♠K. West shows out and you must temporarily stop drawing trumps. For the elimination play to work you must strip ♦s from both hands. So play both the ♦ A K, then ruff a ♦ with the ♠Q. Pull trumps with your ♠ A J, then ruff the last ♦ in dummy. The work is done. Just play a ♥. Whichever defender wins must either play a ♣ into your split tenaces, or play a red card and give you a ruff/sluff. Click NEXT for the full deal. |

These are the hands after the trumps have been pulled and ♦s
eliminated from both North and South.
You now play the ♥, eliminating that suit from both hands. Whichever defender wins the trick must either play another ♥ and give you a ruff/sluff, or play a ♣ and give you a free finesse. Either way you will make the slam. Deal 60 |
