Title: Neat hand
Post by: Curls77 on January 22, 2020, 09:39:02 PM

Shawn saw this hand played in IAC and mailed me as a very neat one :) I ofc would never make it, but surely our IAC musketeers and other that participate here would have ideas!

It cannot be made without defensive help.  The way it can be made is via a trump coup, but there are not enough entries to pull it off by declarer play alone.  There simply are not enough entries.  However, the defense may try to tap declarer, and that is where the defense gets it wrong.  Easy mistake to make.
