Deal 19 4♥ OL: ♣K |
♠ A 8 5 3 ♥ Q 7 4 ♦ 9 7 6 2 ♣ 8 |
You have four losers. If you are thinking about leading toward your ♦K you are delusionary. West
has the ♦A and you know it. Your best hope is to end-play West with the ♣10 and
force him to break the ♦s.
Play one round of trumps with the ♥A. You can't play any more because you will need an entry to dummy for the elimination. Click NEXT . |

Since he has nothing left but ♣s and ♦s he must lead one or the other. A ♦ lead will give you a trick with your ♦K and a ♣ lead will allow you to ruff in dummy (East still has a ♣) and discard a ♦ from your hand. Click NEXT to see all hands. |

Deal 19 4♥ OL: ♣K |
♠ A 8 5 3 ♥ Q 7 4 ♦ 9 7 6 2 ♣ 8 3 |
Some problems are tougher than others, this being a tough one.
It was not a complete elimination since East still had a trump when you threw West in. However, it worked because West was out of both ♠s and ♥s. Deal 20 |
