First off I'd like to congratulate the TWO teams from the University of Michigan that qualified for the Collegiate Championships this summer in Las Vegas. Twice as many teams as any other school managed to punch through :(

Here is a good hand from RR play in the Wolverine v. Crimson match:

Scoring: IMP

W E
    1♦
2♥2♠
4NT5♦
5NT6♥
6NT


After a heartwarming strong J/S and standard blackwood auction you're in 6NT.

♣2 led. Plan the play.

dude, that's not a sjs.

and we can take the spade ace, spade, run the winners for the double squeeze can't we?
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I win the ♣A and finesse the ♠J. If this loses to the king, I've got the count for a squeeze. I need to read the ending correctly, to decide what squeeze to play for - there's several possible squeezes here - the straightforward double squeeze or ♠♥/♠♦/♥♦ depending on the distribution.

If the ♠J wins the trick I test hearts. 3-3 and 4-2 sees me home directly. 5-1/6-0 I'll duck the 3rd round to again go for a squeeze.
Kind regards,
Harald

I'm going with the expert play of hooking as soon as possible too. :)

Seems like a real good slam even if the King does not behave.

There is also a guard squeeze possibility: losing spade finesse, win club or diamond return, cash two top spades and two top hearts, run clubs:

Just another dull restricted choice hand, really.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn
