Deal 2 4♠ OL: ♣Q |
♠ Q 10 2 ♥ 6 2 ♦ A 8 7 4 ♣ 8 6 5 3 |
South is to play 4♠. West leads the ♣Q.
Losers: ♠ = 0 ♥ = 3 ♦ = 0 ♣ = 1 Total = 4 You can't help the ♣ loser, but the ♥ loser can be ruffed in dummy. The most important question right now is how many rounds of trumps to pull before you give up a ♥? NEXT |

Deal 2 4♠ OL: ♣Q |
♠ Q 10 2 ♥ 6 2 ♦ A 8 7 4 ♣ 8 6 5 3 |
South is to play 4♠. West leads the ♣Q.
Losers: ♠ = 0 ♥ = 3 ♦ = 0 ♣ = 1 Total = 4 You can't help the ♣ loser, but the ♥ loser can be ruffed in dummy. The most important question right now is how many rounds of trumps to pull before you give up a ♥? None would be the correct answer. Suppose you decide to go over to dummy with the ♠Q so as to lead a ♥ toward your ♥ Q 10 7. When West won the trick he would probably play another trump. Then when you gave up a second ♥ dummy's final trump might be removed. Win the first trick and play a ♥ from your hand. If they play a ♠, win in your hand and play another ♥. If they play another ♠ it will be just the second and dummy will still have one ♠ left to ruff your ♥ loser. NEXT for the full deal. |

♠ Q 10 2 ♥ 6 2 ♦ A 8 7 4 ♣ 8 6 5 3 |
At the first hint that you might be thinking of ruffing losers in dummy the defenders are going
to start leading trumps to try to prevent you.
So you must stay a jump ahead of them. In this Deal the only way they could have gotten the jump on you would have been with a trump opening lead. Deal 3 |
