Quicktricks 12/14

25.

Another board from the same night.



We lost this board in the bidding, our auction went

1H - 1N
3H - 4H

Yeah, I bid 4H instead of 3N because I'm stupid.

Anyway, it's interesting to see how N can make 4H. East leads a diamond. It looks like the defense can manage a trump, a spade, a club and a club ruff. Can you figure it out? I believe I have the answer below.

diamond won in dummy
heart to the Q
heart A
heart T, west wins K
CQ, DUCKED all around
diamond won in dummy
diamond ruff
CK endplaying east

If you cover the CQ, east wins and continues with the CT. Now if you cover with the J, you're obviously going down. If you duck the J, east can counter by playing a diamond, cutting you from dummy.
