| Board 2: Bidding and making 4H |
Show Detail |
East opens 1♦ (rule of 20), West bids 1♥ , then raises East's 2♥ rebid to 4♥ as they have a LTC = 7
Several people failed to make ten tricks let alone the eleven possible.
A small Spade lead was frequent.
West can count five losers: one Spade, two Clubs, and two Hearts (three on a bad day)
Can you see how best to get rid of two black suit losers to make your ten tricks?

Win the ♠ A. Cash the ♠ K. Cross to hand with ♣ K.
Now ruff a Spade and come back to hand with the ♣ A.
Now ruff a Club and lead a low Heart towards the ♥ Q J, hoping the ♥ A and ♥ K are split
Later use the ♦ A as an entry to lead your last Heart towards which ever of ♥ Q J remain in your hand. |
