Since I'm
exceptionally mediocre, I try to spend as much time playing hands as I can. I bought
BridgeBaron for my pc and have found that, if you set the thinking correctly, it plays plenty strong/accurate for me.
Today, however, it decided to be uncharacteristically aggressive:
| West | North | East | South |
| 2♣ | p | 2♦ |
| p | 2NT | p | 3♣ |
| p | 6NT | p | p |
| p |
The lead is the ♣9... The computer was north, but once the auction is done it rotates the hands to I have to play it.
So, how do you plan to make 6NT? How I did it, below....
Not that there's anything exceptional to the play, mind you. Just a lucky lay of the cards:
| Dealer | N | | Vul | N/S | | Scoring | - | | Lead | ♣6 |
| |
|
|  | |
| |
|
Well, I get my club finesse right out of the gate, west inserting the ♣T... From there, a spade finesse to the ♠J in south and a return of the
♥T to pull west's ace. I win the ♣ continuation from west and run ♠s ending with dummy's 7 as a high card.
If the
♥ honors split I'm down 1 so I run a heart to the jack in my hand which holds. From there, it's home free.
