IMP, robot tourney, best hand South


Trick 1: D8, DT, DJ, D2
Trick 2: H4, H9, HK, H6
Trick 3: HT, HJ, HA, HQ
Trick 4: D3, SQ, H3, D4
Trick 5: S3, S6, SA, SJ
Trick 6: D5, D6, SK, C6
Tricks 7+: irrelevant.

My analysis on completion of trick 4:
Contract requires trumps to break no worse than 3-1, with J falling in two rounds and: either 2-2 Spades or South to have at least 3 Clubs
So draw trumps. If that still leaves a trump in dummy, cash clubs and ruff fourth Club.
If it takes 3 rounds to draw trumps, run all the trumps discarding one Club from dummy. If Diamond is not by then established, run the Clubs

Can anyone suggest where the play to trick 6 can gain? I thought that this was one of GIB's stronger areas of the game.
Psych (pron. saik): A gross and deliberate misstatement of honour strength and/or suit length. Expressly permitted under Law 73E but forbidden contrary to that law by Acol club tourneys.

Psyche (pron. sahy-kee): The human soul, spirit or mind (derived, personification thereof, beloved of Eros, Greek myth).
Masterminding (pron. mPosted ImagesPosted ImagetPosted Imager-mPosted ImagendPosted Imageing) tr. v. - Any bid made by bridge player with which partner disagrees.

"Gentlemen, when the barrage lifts." 9th battalion, King's own Yorkshire light infantry,
2000 years earlier: "morituri te salutant"

"I will be with you, whatever". Blair to Bush, precursor to invasion of Iraq
