Okay,the
opponents start off with 2 rounds of 's
and you ruff the second trick and you have
to make the rest. Well the only other possible loser is
a spade which will disappear if the
diamonds break 3-3, can we improve on
that? If we play off all our winners and
west has 4's
plus the Khe will be squeezed in front of the
dummy, if he throws a diamond we throw a
spade and if he bares his K's
we throw a diamond and keep two spades and
drop his king but that dosen't work
against east because he throws after
dummy, that is called a positional
squeeze, can we improve on that?
I think so the "Vienna Coup"
First cash the A
then run the trumps and before the play of
the last trump we come down to
x None
AKQx
None
Q
x
None We discard the spade from dummy on
the last trump and reduce everyone to 4
cards so if either opponent has 4 diamonds
plus K spades he is squeezed or if
diamonds are 3-3 we are home. The Vienna
coup is to unblock the A
