Scoring: IMP

The auction went past 3NT and ended in 6C delared by east. Lead of the DT.


Of 16 pairs, 8 bid 6NT and 2 bid 6C. What is your line in NT and in Clubs?

6n

My best chance is to win in hand, and lead a ♣ to the J. If it wins, then I lead the ♠Q.

This will work by force if S holds the stiff J, but the main chance is that N holds the Kxxx and does not cover for fear that you hold AJ9xx: should he cover, he has blown the entire suit.

If he does cover, and the J does not drop, continue a ♠. You hope that the winner of the defensive ♠ trick does not hold the ♣A and gets lazy.

This is why you lead a ♣ early and why, I suggest, you lead to the J. It is not unknown for North to duck, and if S holds the A, it is almost certain that he will duck.

Play Diamond Ace, knock out club Ace and quicky claim before opps know what is going on. ;)

It's like a "pseudo-finesse" like in the article. Not sure why it's called that, but it is a common term and is not derogatory.

It seems you will have more chances in 6NT than 6♣ :), I think playing ♠Q at trick 2 is the best of all.

There is a somewhat obscure play for 6 clubs if you can find the singleton ace - win two round of diamonds, three rounds of hearts, then lead a low club from dummy. If hearts are 3/3 and the singleton Ace is with North along with the King of spades......

So Queen of spades at trick 2 is probably the winner.
