mb|p|mb|1H|nt|mariner1: this is the penultimate board,, next to last|pg||
mb|2S|mb|2N|mb|p|nt|mariner1: does seem 3N could make here|pg||
mb|3N|mb|p|mb|p|mb|p|pc|s7|nt|bjacobs: Yes, but declarer will play on diamonds perhaps|pg||
nt|mariner1: well @s lead ends chances|pg||
nt|mariner1: though A@H makes it |pg||
nt|cuttysark: Will not expect this diamonds postion after the weak jump - seems normal to go down|pg||
nt|stoffers: playing the !A is a easy play for us to do, but playing on diamonds, or maybe N to have Hx of hearts much more likely|pg||
nt|stoffers: *@hA|pg||
nt|bjacobs: It seems to be mainly a matter of playing the red suit where North does not hold KQ|pg||
nt|bjacobs: If you hold up the spade, you can make by playing on hearts, even if North has Kxx or Qxx|pg||
nt|bjacobs: So it seems to me that declarer is in with a good chance|pg||
nt|stoffers: then, how do you make the 2nd spade on hand?|pg||
pc|s4|nt|mariner1: Along with the World Championship Bermuda Bowl from Shanghai, China, BBO also has major events from Russia and Bulgaria on vugraphs coming up. Tournaments in both India and England ...|pg||
