Hi Mary, if you click on playlists, choose the one you want & then scroll down to the beginning, you'll end up at the first videos of that particular section.
I'm not a fan of how you played the end game here. I would play Low to the Ace of diamonds, then Jack of diamonds back to the king. to leave my low diamond as an Possible Way of getting back to Declarers hand. I would take my Ten of clubs, Low diamond back to my hand, then Queen of clubs. then 3 rounds of Diamonds. I would discard 2 spades at first, then my Heart. and on the last diamond I would in the case of North having King of heart + 3 spades. put him into a squeeze. do he keep the King of hearts, or do he keep 3 spades. If my right han opponent had double spades and long clubs. maybe an extra heart. It would be possible to squeeze out the 10th trick. Scoring Maximum on Match point scoring
Hi Kimii, Yes, you are right! There was a possible heart-spade squeeze on here if North has the hearts and spades guarded. We know that North has the KH but for this squeeze to work, we would also need them to have spade length (or spades 3-3 but then it isn't really a squeeze!). As it happens, I think I have misplayed this hand and I think you can/should make 12 tricks, irrespective of the squeeze on North. After drawing the trumps, I should have cashed the AS and then over to dummy's KS and ruffed a spade in hand. This would present spade tricks if they are 3-3, but they are not. So back over to the dummy with the JD (note, you need this entry to set up the spades) and then ruff another spade. This now means that the last spade on the dummy is a winner, so cross over to the 10C and cash the length winner in spades, discarding the heart loser from hand in the process. This line of play works whenever spades are 3-3 or 4-2 (~84% chance) and doesn't rely on North holding the spade length, as a squeeze would rely on. Hope this helps, and thanks for commenting, making me look more closely at the play on this one! Dom
@@learnmodernbridge101 That's even better. After taking out the trumps, we still have an entry with the Ten of clubs. so entrys is not a problem. I do agree with your last line here. WE get in on the club. two round of spades, ruff a spade, Play back to dummy, we could actually do another Ruff in spades here, and return to dummy via trump. Spades should have broken by then and give us the one Discard we need in hearts for 12tricks. Only way to lose 2 tricks is if they take for the King of hearts in trick 2
