Barnet’s Seminar March 28th
The first of my 2 seminars is on Declarer play and starts at 11 am in two weeks as above.
I have been sent a hand by Danny Kane which will fit in with some of the ideas that will be discussed. North/South bid a good slam and East found the best lead of the C2.
You can see the North/South Hands above but to play the hands yourself click HERE then quickly click on N (North) which will hide the hands. Now consider without looking at the hands how you would play based on the C2 lead. When you're ready click on N (North) again and the 4 hands will come up. Now click Play, and you can play the 4 hands out and see how your play would have worked out. Finally you can Exit your play, and by restarting the hand and using Next, see how the hand was excellently played by Helen Kane.

You need to ruff 2 hearts and take a club discard. By ruffing the first heart with the SA you have taken a safety play in case the cards are distributed with West having 3S and 2 Diamonds. To make the hand, 2 hearts have to be ruffed, and one club discarded . The first heart is ruffed high, and a spade to the Q, followed by a second heart ruffed high When you see that West has 3 spades it is safe to ruff that high also, finesse the S9 and pull the last trump before taking your club discard on the top Diamond. Had the trumps split 2-1 it would have been safe to pull the second trump. Had East held all 3 trumps, then the second heart is ruffed low and declarer would cash the high spade from Dummy before playing 3 top diamonds pitching her club.
If you like this hand you can get a regular email with hands from Danny at Kanegolf200@aol.com Just let him know.
Hoping to see you at my first seminar on 28th. There will be something for all standards of play. |
