After 1&#x2660;-2&#x2663;-2&#x2660;, how would you describe the South hand? You are too strong to just bid 3NT, but you do not want to commit to slam if partner has a minimum opening bid. There are many ways for you to set spades as trumps if you want to use RKCB: if you play 2\/1, you can simply raise to Three Spades at your second turn, and if not then you can jump to Four Diamonds or Four Hearts, either of which would be a cue-bid agreeing spades. Having set spades, you could then Blackwood at your next turn. Using this immediate jump to 4NT as a quantitative bid though is the only way to describe this strength of hand with no spade fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Now, on to the play. You have ten top tricks, so you need to find two more. One possibility is to take the heart finesse and, if that fails, hope that diamonds break 3-3. That is less likely than the normal 36% chance after West\u2019s opening lead, though. A better option is to play on spades, planning to take two finesses. Rather than leading the &#x2660;9, you should start with the &#x2660;3, just in case West happens to have been dealt a singleton honour. If West follows with a low spade, you plan to insert the &#x2660;8 from dummy. Suppose East wins the spade and returns a heart. Are you going to finesse? No, the chance of finding one of the spade honours onside was originally 75%. Although East has won the first spade, the Principle of Restricted Choice still makes West a 2-1 favourite to hold the other honour. Reject the heart finesse and take a second finesse in spades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-9fb22c4\" data-block-id=\"9fb22c4\"><style>.stk-9fb22c4{height:20px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>This was the full deal:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dealer North. Both Vul.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagram-EN-60-1024x971.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-79728\" style=\"width:500px;height:undefinedpx\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>As you can see, playing a low spade to dummy\u2019s eight solves all of your problems immediately. If West splits his spade honors you could win, return to hand in one of the minors, and lead the &#x2660;9 hoping to make an overtrick if West started with exactly &#x2660;Q-J-x. If he does not split, then the &#x2660;8 will win and you could then take the heart finesse to ensure twelve tricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether West splits his honors or not, you could also cash your club winners next. Doing so hits the jackpot on this layout. With West holding guards in all three other suits, he will be squeezed to concede two more tricks. If he unguards spades, you will have five tricks in that suit to go with three diamonds, four clubs and one heart. If he relinquishes a red-suit guard, then cashing your winners in that suit squeezes him again in spades and the other red suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As it happens, starting with a losing heart finesse would also have produced twelve tricks on this layout. Although diamonds do not break 3-3, West holds both four diamonds and the &#x2660;Q-J, so he will be squeezed when you cash your winners in the rounded suits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bidding and making 6NT was worth 79% of the matchpoints. Scoring the overtrick would push your score into the high 90s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-db089ee\" data-block-id=\"db089ee\"><style>.stk-db089ee{height:20px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What did you think about this article? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Share your opinion in<em> the Commentary Section!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This month\u2019s hand comes from a Funbridge daily matchpoint tournament.
