| Hand of the month - September |
This hand was played on Tuesday, 27th August at the Eastern Cape BBO site
After South had checked on key cards, establishing that only one is missing, but with the queen verified in North's hand, pushes you into slam.
With one definite diamond to lose you have to try to avoid losing a club trick
You count 5 trump tricks in hand and a heart ruff to go with your ace of hearts and the 2 diamond tricks and 2 clubs, giving you only 11 tricks.
Making it may seem to rely on East making a mistake in the defence
How do you go about making this one.
You draw trumps and lead a diamond towards dummy
If East were to jump up with the ace, it would be game over for the defence as the fourth round of diamonds will allow you to throw a losing club
You play a diamond back to hand and East wins, exiting with a heart which you ruff in hand
Based on the bidding you know east has no hearts or spades left leaving him with 2 diamonds and 3 clubs
So you play your last trump and East is in a pickle
If he throws a diamond your ♦7 become a trick
If he throws a club both the queen and jack of clubs come down together
