Double dummy and suit
combinations Delicate play in a suit to force refusal of the gambit With two suits offering a possible extra trick and residual squeeze possibilities the slam was made You want partner to shift but what is the best way to convey that information Strong hands with a singleton high honour, especially in a major, are hard to bid Sometimes miracles can happen if the opponents' cards are just right Against an expert you play for legitimate chances but weaker opponents give you more latitude When two suits are "frozen" look for an elimination rather than play for a finesse When partner has a choice of plays be careful to play the card which helps him do the right thing A hand that requires judgement and technique in bidding and play When an opponent makes a passive lead it can give a lot of information Only two expert defenders would get this one right; even then it's a tough one A hand where the correct play is counter-intuitive A hand that needs violent revaluation in the light of the bidding Doubling 1NT should be based on a good hand with a good lead, not just points After 1NT is doubled your priority should be to minimise loss and avoid silly results After aggressive bidding declarer has to play the hand delicately It is not often that a Queen is of such importance that it can be cue bid Analysing one suit is not enough - it is important to see the whole hand Although most slams are bid using Blackwood or cue bids some are better bid directly The odds on suit breaks change when long suits are known to exist At the table there are often two nearly equal lines of play Playing parts cores often entails delicate handling in several suits It is easy to miss the need to unblock and retain entries It is not always obvious which is the safest line of play The cards were placed but even so it was possible to make a mistake Pairs often requires deeper analysis than teams or rubber Timing is the essence in this ordinary looking hand The defence can decide who will be thrown in Many hands need declarer to plan the play based on possibilities in several suits After several tricks have been played the odds change. Sometimes the less obvious play offers a better chance of success |
