June 2001 tips

Tip 1 -   Contract 4 ª by South           (Degree of difficulty = 7)
West leads the Jack of hearts. You duck at dummy, so does East and you win the trick with the Queen. Then you try the finesse spade but East takes with the King, cashes the Ace of hearts and plays the 4 of spades. How should you plan your play (I want you to play with a probability of 75%)?

Tip 2 -   Contract 4 ª by South           (Degree of difficulty = 4)

West leads the 4 of hearts to East's Ace. East returns heart for the Jack of West who cashes also the King and then switches to club. How should South plan his play?

West leads the Jack of clubs. How should South plan his play?

Tip 6 -   Contract 6 NT by South           (Degree of difficulty = 12)
