Scoring: IMP

(1♥) - X - (2♥) - 6♠
All Pass


You bash 6♠ and fortune favours the brave as you get the lead of the ♣K. A heart lead would have sank the ship to start with, but now you have chances.

Plan the play.

This should be in the beginner thread :)

Ruff the opening lead and draw trump, ending in hand and lead a low ♦. If LHO flies with the Ace, you have two discards for ♥. If he ducks, you pitch the ♦K on the ♣A and concede a ♥

I agree Mike. Although I would say a Morton's Fork is a bit beyond most BILers, it shouldn't really be. Stay tuned for more problems though as they will start to get a lot harder. :)

'forked'? I'd never heard of it and had to ask Matt its meaning. I thought it was another case for abuse :rolleyes: :)

As for being easy..I simply dont see these plays, even when given the line it can take me a while to 'see it' sigh

Adam and I weren't participating in the play problems, but when he got to see both hands, he instantly (took two seconds, tops) said "I know how to play that", right as Matt was going on to the next board. :P

Most enthusiastic I saw him being that session.
