You
lead the A
and partner contributes the 2, what are our prospects?
Well we need 1 more trick, perhaps partner has a¨
trick, is that possible? Declarer opened 1nt 12-14
points, where are his points? Q AQ
K
thats 11 plus one or two more J's, prospects look bleak
.Anyway lets cash a 2nd
declarer drops the Q, what now?
Perhaps declarer's hand is
Qx

AQJ
Kxxx
We might be clutching at straws but it's
our only chance lets continue with a 3rd .
Declarer ruffs in hand and plays a trump, we win the A
and play a 4th
and partner produces the J !
Bingo!
!Well Defended!
Our only other chance was a¨
switch playing partner for a singleton but then declarer would
have opened 1nt with 5422 shape feasible but not likely. |
