Whats are your plans?
If the trumps are kind you eill easily make your ten tricks. And a 4-1 trump break will no trouble you if the diamonds are 3-3. The most probable diamonds split is 4-2, however. The spectre that haunts you from the beginning is the possibility of 4-1 trumps and 4-2diamonds. In this event you must aim to lose one trick in each suit except diamonds. If your planning is sound you will let West win the first trick with his K. Your general strategy is to keep open the possibility of ruffing a diamond in dummy yourself while cutting the enemy communications. The precaution is necessary for the complete deal is:7 6 2 A 8 A 6 2 J 8 5 3 2 | ||
