This hand appeared in bridge world, apparently a long time back.

Scoring: Rubber

Lead ♠2.


you are in 6S. West leads a small trump and East follows. Plan the play (forget about squeezes).


As usual Adv/Adv+, please don't post spoilers too soon.

Draw trump. Cash AK♣. If both follow, concede a club, and hope they split.

If not, cash the AK♥ hoping the Q falls. If not, ♦ finesse.
Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

Slight improvement maybe? Immediate heart finesse. If it loses, I can throw a club on a heart, ruff a club to test for 3-3, and still leave myself the diamond finesse later.

Do you really think the improvement is 'slight'? :angry:
