I would like to know if there is a name for this, 6th round of cards, I was defending and I played 10 of diamonds to get the exact result I wanted (thats only because I remember something out of a book about deception)



This is how I played the hand

Can you say here what you did? I cannot look at lin files.

I'm not sure there is a name for what you did, other than 'induced declarer to do something very stupid'. It obviously didn't occur to declarer to cash the king of diamonds first before taking this diamond finesse....

If your computer will not open the lin file from a browser try one of these two tricks.

1) Clear your browser cache and try again
2) right click on the link to the hand, chose save target, then use netbridgevu (the BBO program) to "open a movie"

[FrancesHinden]

Sorry, let me rephrase.
I am not allowed to install any software on this machine, therefore I can't look at bridge movies/use BBO/play computer games etc
I can look at the .lin file in a text file editor but don't have the energy to disentangle the play.

There was no re-entry to dummy because he'd pitched a diamond on the previous trick, so "give declarer a losing option" and/or "capitalize on declarer's error" might be better names for it, as he had to commit now.

This is rather a cute discard version of the standard falsecard:

A10xx
J9xx x
KQ8x

Play the 9 under the K to give declarer a losing option.

Good declarers would suspect something's up when you pitch the ♦10 though, as it's unusual for anyone to pitch a card in a vital suit in this sort of situation.
