Counting we have two ♠ , three ♥ , three ♦ and one ♣ TOTAL 9 top tricks
Add tricks from other sources. We have two slow tricks by power in ♣ and a possible trick by position in that suit if the finesse works; if it fails we need to fins the ♠ Q. Notice we can finesse spades in either direction. Is it a guess can we do better?
Manage we need to play ♣ from the table (West). We play the ♠ Q, if it is not covered take the finesse.
This hand is quite complex so will proceed to that point and make one plan if the finesse works and a different one if it fails.
Manage again When this finesse fails we cash all our winners and count the South hand. We note that South has 6 diamonds, 3 or 4 hearts and 3 clubs. Therefore he has 1 spade at the most. So we play a spade to the king and a spade to East and take the finesse. |
