Problem 1

West North East South
2NT
Pass 3NT All pass

West leads the queen of spades and follows with a low spade to East´s king. How should South plan the play?

South plays 3NT and the defence begins with Q and a spade to the K. South should hold up to the third round. The usual safety play in diamonds is ace first but this will lose when West holds Jxx. It is better to cross to K and lead a diamond from the table. When the king appears. South ducks.


Problem 2

West North East South
 1  Pass  2 Dbl
Pass 3 Pass  3
Pass 3 Pass 5
All Pass

Not the best spot, however, West leads the king of hearts. How should South plan the play?

South plays in five diamonds after West has opened one heart and East has raised two hearts. West leads the king of hearts.

Declarer should win the heart lead and as dummy has only one more entry, should at once lead a low spade to the jack. This play wins when West holds precisely 10x, as South can then pick up four spade tricks without loss.
