The good news is that you know that. In principle, you have two &#x2663; and two &#x2660; to give up. If East does not hold King-doubleton &#x2660;, you need to be considering a throw-in. As it often does, the problem consists of knowing by which method and in which suit you need to throw East in with. A priori, there seem to be two possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After eliminating the &#x2666;, playing the 7 of &#x2660; from hand and letting it run. But this requires either East to have KJ10 in &#x2660; or for West to misdefend by forgetting to cover and force the Queen out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other way is to hope for East to have four &#x2666; and throw him in on the fourth round of the suit, discarding a &#x2660; from your hand. This is the solution you should prefer. But watch out! Everything could be ruined on Trick One if you put the King of &#x2663; up from the dummy. East will win and return a club (away from the Queen) to his partner, who will have no difficulty in finding the fatal &#x2660; switch. So, play the 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>What did you think of this bridge problem by Philippe Cronier?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Share your view with the Funbridge team and other bridge players in the comments section below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong>Do you like this type of bridge problem?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-995f960e wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/funbridge.onelink.me\/eHER\/commenteddeals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/commented-deals-premium-plus.jpg\" alt=\"Commented deals Funbridge Premium+\" class=\"wp-image-32992\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/commented-deals-premium-plus.jpg 960w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/commented-deals-premium-plus-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/commented-deals-premium-plus-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will love playing the hundreds of <strong>deals commented by bridge experts available in the Funbridge app!<\/strong> Commented deals are included in the Premium+ subscription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe0a7de2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/funbridge.onelink.me\/eHER\/commenteddeals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Play commented deals \u25ba<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your hand sitting South Bidding Dealer East.
