West won the first trick with the &#x2665;Q and continued with the &#x2665;A. East followed with the 3. West continued with the &#x2665;7, East discarded the &#x2666;7 and I ruffed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Time to think. West showed &#x2665;AKQ1097 but his second bid was 3&#x2666;. Would West bid 3&#x2666; with only four &#8220;broken&#8221; diamonds? Wouldn&#8217;t West prefer to bid 3&#x2665; with his good six-card suit? It seemed unlikely, so I believed that they had five cards in diamonds, i.e. at least 6-5 in the red suits. Of course, it followed that West had maximum two black cards. So, drawing trumps and developing long clubs by ruffing wouldn&#8217;t work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A cross-ruff seemed to be a better proposition. How many trumps, if any, should I draw? Not drawing any trumps seemed clearly wrong. West could ruff a club early and besides, only three clubs needed to be ruffed in North&#8217;s hand, so at least one round could be safely drawn. It seemed safe to begin with the king. Everyone followed with small spades. Should I draw one more round? I did not think so. If spades were 2-2, then clubs were 6-0. If I drew one more round of spades, only two clubs could be ruffed in dummy and one would be lost. If I immediately played a top club, West could ruff, but having no more spades, they couldn&#8217;t prevent me from cross-ruffing the rest. Anyway, the result would be the same: ten tricks. If, on the other hand, West had one in each black suit, drawing another round of trumps would cost me a trick because clubs were 5-1 and only two could be ruffed in dummy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I played a top club. Both opponents followed, West with the jack. Then I played the other top club. West discarded the &#x2665;9. I was right! West&#8217;s distribution was 1-6-5-1. I continued to cross-ruff the rest and ended up with eleven tricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-c67bfeb\" data-block-id=\"c67bfeb\"><style>.stk-c67bfeb {height:35px !important;}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With the cards revealed, this was the position after one round of trumps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-0ff4d97\" data-block-id=\"0ff4d97\"><style>.stk-0ff4d97 .stk--block-align-0ff4d97{align-items:center !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk--block-align-0ff4d97 stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-0ff4d97-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-a698b49\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"a698b49\"><style>@media screen and (max-width:689px){.stk-a698b49 {flex:var(--stk-flex-grow, 1) 1 calc(100% - var(--stk-column-gap, 0px) * 0 \/ 1 ) !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-a698b49-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-a698b49-inner-blocks\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"971\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Yoram-May-Diag-2_EN-1024x971.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-110585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Yoram-May-Diag-2_EN-1024x971.png 1024w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Yoram-May-Diag-2_EN-300x284.png 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Yoram-May-Diag-2_EN-768x728.png 768w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Yoram-May-Diag-2_EN.png 1158w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-b8a0edc\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"b8a0edc\"><style>@media screen and (max-width:689px){.stk-b8a0edc {flex:var(--stk-flex-grow, 1) 1 calc(100% - var(--stk-column-gap, 0px) * 0 \/ 1 ) !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-b8a0edc-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-b8a0edc-inner-blocks\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"742\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Yoram-May-bid_EN-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-110586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Yoram-May-bid_EN-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Yoram-May-bid_EN-1-300x223.png 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Yoram-May-bid_EN-1-768x570.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Declarer cashed the top clubs, West failed to ruff and cross-ruffed the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-4120ca2\" data-block-id=\"4120ca2\"><style>.stk-4120ca2 {height:35px !important;}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The four hands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-09b99e5\" data-block-id=\"09b99e5\"><style>.stk-09b99e5 .stk-img-wrapper{width:44% !important;height:385px !important;}@media screen and (max-width:689px){.stk-09b99e5 .stk-img-wrapper{width:93% !important;height:289px !important;}}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-110587\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Yoram-May-Diag_EN.png\" width=\"1158\" height=\"1098\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Yoram-May-Diag_EN.png 1158w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Yoram-May-Diag_EN-300x284.png 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Yoram-May-Diag_EN-1024x971.png 1024w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Yoram-May-Diag_EN-768x728.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1158px) 100vw, 1158px\" \/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to this deal was to remember the bidding, draw the right conclusions and plan the play accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eleven tricks were worth 97.7%.
