Then There Were Nine!!



In above deal West led 7 and when dummy’s ten held the trick the first hurdle was overcome – there were now seven to tricks.  A diamond to the King allowed the declarer to lead a low spade and play the King – and then there were eight! Returning to hand with the K south cashed the  Q and  A.  The 9 was led and West had to overtake his partner’s Jack to avoid the endplay in hearts.  The  Q returned.

By now South was almost certain that West had a 4-1-3-5 shape. So he won the  A, cashed the  A and exited with  5 and then there were nine!!

West won but he had to concede the last trick with the  6 to declarer’s 10.

I once bid a tightener double,
And my partner went into a huddle,
He found the wrong lead,
So the slam did succeed,
And a bottom I got for My Trouble!!
