Deal 6 3NT OL: ♠2 |
♠ A 7 4 ♥ K 10 9 8 3 ♦ J 5 3 ♣ Q 3 |
South is to play 3NT. West leads the ♠2.
Winners: ♠ = 2 ♥ = 0 ♦ = 2 ♣ = 1 Total = 5 Obviously you need to establish 4 ♥ winners and by driving out the ♥A you can manage that handily. The problem is that dummy has only one sure entry, (the ♠A), and the defenders may be good enough to hold up their ♥A twice. To assure the contract you should win the first trick in your hand with the ♠K. Then play ♥Q, ♥J overtaking with dummy's ♥K so you can continue establishing the suit while you still have that ♠ entry. Click NEXT for the complete Deal. |
