I got to turn the dummy watching partner play 1NT by East.

First Four tricks

♥10,4,7,A
♣2,6,10,K
♥8,3,2,5
♥6,♦2,♥9,K


Now what?

♠ to hand and play ♣, if you win this trick qwack a ♠. If u lose to RHO u are screwed up anyway, if LHO takes his Ace of ♣ (he will do it only if 4-1 ♣ ) you are in mercy of defense pretty much.

Did your pd come to hand with ♦ A and hypnotized them ?

Then South should have ducked...now we can win any return and finesse the J of clubs for 3 club tricks, 2 spade tricks, 2 heart tricks, and a diamond for 8 tricks. WTP?

If south had ducked this second club, then I'd be probably dead in the water.

Edit: As noted by rduran below, We cannot run clubs at this point...disregard the above.

dummy has Q8x declarer has x and South holds J9, K of hearts is knocked out, how exactly is declarer getting 3 clubs?

Very easily if one thinks that the 9 is in dummy and the 8 in South's hand.

Its not my turn to play unfortunately, when LHO holds with ♣ A. I cant think of an imaginative line except than the one i already said to be honest.

declarer has 3 tricks and J9 club sits in south.

Yes, and the point is ? Am i missing something ? It is South's turn to play and i cant play for him, even if i could i dunno what he has except than QT92 ♥ and AJ9x ♣, i assume he will play ♦ at some point, it seems like we cant make it. If 4-2 ♠ he will play back a ♣ now, if 3-3 ♠ he will play a ♦

I don't understand the question.

By the way, in OP trick 2 can not be correct, u show ♣ 6 in declarer's hand but drop it from South in first ♣ play.

West has 4 cards and other have 3 card left in this diagram.

How can it come to this position ? I can defeat this 1 NT easily when i am in with ♣ Ace. You can not make it bro. I dunno how your pd managed to come to this position, but indeed its a cute position to end up. He cant come to this position without defense screwing up though.

haha i keep trying to make it work.

North ended up holding his high diamond and 2 spades, so the lead to the club forced him to ditch the spade guard. Im sure the defense screwed up, but it was a very strong player sitting north who screwed up the distribution on spades and diamonds. It seemed like East's ability to pitch after North set up the "pseudo" squeeze.
