♠ A Q 9 ♥ A 7 5 3 ♦ A J 6 4 ♣ A K |
South is to play 3NT. West leads the ♠5.
Winners: ♠ = 3 ♥ = 1 ♦ = 1 ♣ = 2 Total = 7 Needing two winners you will naturally consider your 5-card ♣ suit. After unblocking the ♣ A K you will need two entries to your hand; one to lead the ♣J and drive out the ♣Q, then a second to enjoy your good ♣s. The ♠ suit will provide one entry easily, but should you depend on the ♥Q for the second entry? Click NEXT . |

♠ A Q 9 ♥ A 7 5 3 ♦ A J 6 4 ♣ A K |
South is to play 3NT. West leads the ♠5.
Winners: ♠ = 3 ♥ = 1 ♦ = 1 ♣ = 2 Total = 7 Needing two winners you will naturally consider your 5-card ♣ suit. After unblocking the ♣ A K you will need two entries to your hand; one to lead the ♣J and drive out the ♣Q, then a second to enjoy your good ♣s. The ♠ suit will provide one entry easily, but should you depend on the ♥Q for the second entry? No, for two reasons. Firstly the ♥Q only gives you a 50% chance of being an entry. But more importantly, you already have your two sure entries in ♠s. As long as you take the first trick with dummy's ♠A both your ♠K and ♠J can be entries. Win the ♠A. Play off dummy's ♣ A K. Lead the ♠9 to your ♠J. Play your ♣J (and another one if necessary) to establish the ♣ suit. Win whatever red card they play next with dummy's Ace. Play the ♠Q to your ♠K and cash your established ♣(s). Dummy's other red Ace will be your ninth trick. Click NEXT for the complete Deal. |
