Scoring: IMP


1♠ by you, x by LHO, and 4♠ by P. Needing a swing on the last board of a swiss, you blast 6 ♠. whatever, it's a play problem. LHO leads ♦ K.

You get a much better dummy than you deserve for your crummy bid, so what is your plan to make it? B)

I've been awful at these lately, but I'll take a stab.

A♦, ruff a ♦. AK♠. Q♣, ruff a ♦ with the J. A♣ throwing a ♥

If ♠s were 2/2 and ♦s 3/3 I'm home

If ♠s were 2/2 and ♦s 4/2, ruff a ♥, ruff a ♦, ruff a ♥ and I'm home.

If ♠s were 3/1 and ♦s 3/3, concede a ♠ and you're home.
Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

the timing is better if you ruff ♦ lead in hand, ♣ to Q, and ruff a 2d ♦. then cash a couple of high trumps. if trumps 2-2, then any 4-3 ♣ division will work, or 3-3 ♦'s. If trumps 3-1, then you need someone to have Jxx in ♣, or 3-3 ♦. ;)

How about:

- ace of diamonds pitching a heart.

- club queen.

- spade to ace.

- club ace pitching a heart.

- ruff a club.

- spade finesse.

Makes if clubs are 4-3, whether the spade finesse loses or wins.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

You still have one heart to lose, so doesn't a spade loser mean one down?
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.
