ירחון ההתאגדות הישראלית לברידג' 54 At most tables, West became the declarer in 3NT. He has eight top tricks, and a spade lead would hand him his contract right away. However, the logical lead is hearts – a strong and solid four-card suit. Declarer holds up his ♥A until the third round, while South signals a four-card suit. North should play all his honors and keep ♥ 3 in order to avoid a later endplay. After winning the heart ace, declarer cashes six clubs from dummy, and this is the position after eight tricks: AJ 3 K4 - KT 94 - - AJ9 Q7 - 3 Q5 T T8 - At trick 9, the ♣3 is cashed from dummy. South discards a spade, and West – a diamond. What should North do? If he decides to part with his last heart, Declarer can lead spades and force North to underlead his diamond king at trick 12. If North discards a spade and bares his ace, declarer can play a small spade from both hands, promoting the spade king to his ninth trick. North's best chance to defeat the contract is to bare his diamond king (perhaps at an earlier trick)! From declarer's point of view, having seen ♥KQJ at North's hand, he doesn't need the diamond king to justify his one spade overcall, so a losing diamond finesse is likely to happen. In the Israeli Premier League, seven declarers managed to make 3NT in some way, while four declarers failed. חנות הברידג’ היחידה בישראל אריה, חברה לקלפים בע”מ , קריית אריה פ"ת 16 המפלסים (מול איצטדיון המושבה) 03-6186722 08:00-17:00 פתוח ימים א-ה אנו מזמינים אתכם להנות מחווית הקניה של מוצרי ברידג’, משחקים ומתנות, אונליין באתר החדש שלנו www.lioncard.co.il סט קופסאות הכרזה קלאב כולל קלפי הכרזה מפלסטיק סימטריים ש”ח 180 ש”ח 240 במקום ש”ח למשלוח 40 תוספת עברנו!
