Our new ambassador Sofie Græsholt Sjødal is hosting her third Masterclass about “To ruff or not to ruff“.

But hurry up! This Masterclass will stop being available after 14 June.
Here’s a problem devised by our teacher to dive straight into the topic of this Masterclass:

*Solution
Since the opponents both followed suit to the first trick, and we have nine diamonds in total we know that the diamonds are breaking, so we have six diamond tricks, in addition we have three spade tricks, four heart tricks and a diamond trick, that’s in total 14 tricks, unless opponents can ruffle anything.
So here we have to as quickly as possible pull the trumps to make sure that the opponents won’t get a ruff. As long as the hearts are not split worse than 4-2 we will make our contract. We would probably be fine if we started to ruff clubs as well, but there was no reason to risk it. So here we pull the trumps as quickly as possible
