| The Frozen suit 1/9/26 |
Show Detail |
The concept of a "frozen suit" is quite complex. What it means is whichever side leads the suit loses a trick. Just look at the club suit with the hand here.
If East or West leads the suit they make 1 trick - that is the established 4th round of the suit. Just work it out. Say East is on lead. No matter what is led North/South wins the Ace, King and 10. It is just the same if West leads.
Now look at North or South leading the suit. Now now matter how you play East/West makes 2 tricks.
What does all of this mean? If you can recogninse the position you must get your opponents to lead clubs.
On the hand in particular there is another help.
North has a perfect takeout double for their 1NT opening and South should think as follows. I have a 10 count and game is probably not on. I have 3 trump tricks and surely we have 3 more. One off is 200 which beats a part score. Pass.
So long as North/South keep leading spades East will eventually have to lead clubs and that is 2 off for 500
(Yes. I forgot to reopen with a double)
