Hi all
Today I was sitting in the train with half a dozen sweaty, blue and purple veined French cheeses. When the people in my coach started complaining to eachother about the air conditioning and the funny, funky smell around, I couldn’t suppress a blush. But I’m at home right now, “destroying” evidence.
So three days, starting today, a story about 6NT. Brought to you by Kees and me, they are all very pretty I promise you.
The bidding wasn’t very interesting, I opened 1, Kees invited for a NT slam after showing his
suit, accepted by me. The lady sitting West started with a
for East’s King. A
came back, and now, two tricks too late, I took stock to formulate a plan.
The King has to be onside to even have a chance for twelve tricks. And something good has to happen in
as well. So the winning plan for twelve tricks is there: squeeze West out of her Majors. I crossed to hand with the Ace of
and played the
Queen, covered, for the Ace in dummy. Now three more rounds of
(me discarding a
) and the Ace of
.
Now when I crossed to my hand with the Queen of West was squeezed. Either the
would break or the
would come in. We’re finally home with twelve tricks.
