A
deal from a Manchester online duplicate in August.
After
a bidding sequence that is perhaps not recommended
North arrived in five hearts. If you were
given this as a declarer problem you would be
unlikely to make the contract.
However,
I will show you the East and West hands, see if you
can make it now.
Solution
The difficulty for declarer is reaching the dummy. On a diamond lead (best for the defence) declarer trumps and starts with ace and another club to set up some tricks in clubs. East wins the club and plays another diamond, trumped by North. Now the eight of hearts to the nine, ten and king puts West on lead. He can play a spade, but North wins and plays the five of hearts to dummy's six for spade discards on the established clubs. |
