A
deal from an EBU online Duplicate.
Dealer E E-W vulnerable.
East
pre-empted with three hearts, South overcalled four
diamonds and North made an agricultural slam try.
West
led the two of hearts, how do you play?
Solution Drawing
trumps will work if they break two-two but you will
run out of tricks if you try that and they break
three-one.
However
dummy's trumps are good enough to try ruffing two
spades in dummy. So play spade to the ace
and king of spades and trump a spade in dummy with
the ten of diamonds. Now the heart ace to
discard a club. West will trump this and
return a club which you win with the ace, then
ruff a club back to hand, ruff another spade on
table with the jack, and then draw the outstanding
trumps.
